Nice work!
Where'd you get the model? I have one from Ton, printed but not assembled.

Yes, its same model.

Groovy! I hope I can do mine and give it the same amount of justice that you have given with yours. The LES looks a little daunting.

How did you do the crinkled look of the heat shield? Is it aluminum foil painted?

Thank you very much! LES is little disaster, but live model looks better...
Yes, its aluminium foil painted with black Revell color and glued to heatshield part.

Cool, I'll try the same trick when I get around to building mine.

Fine work! The LES is particularly good.

Very nicely done.

The LES must have been fun at such a scale.
