Thanks for positive feedback guys. That's the blue I'm talkin' 'bout Shrike. the model looks OK faded, but I wish it were "true blue". You're right Dragos. It was offered for free someone out there in cyberspace, but I could never find the link again. I like bases for 1/72 or smaller aircraft CT. Not only are the bases compact, but usually the model doesn't have the level of detail that would require picking it up for a closer look at the underside, etc. Another benefit is that when the model is picked up, it's picked up by base instead of the model itself, so the risk of damage is minimized.
