Thanks friend

She's the JSC 1:400 scale model. A fairly hard kit to build and plenty of time and patience required, but well worth it :D

Great build. 1:400 scale

I have a hard time forming parts in 1:200. The plane is way beyond my eye sight, I like the smaller builds, but my hands and eye sight limit what scale I work in. Glad to have you here. I followed your work on the other forum.:DRick

It's a really excellent model, Peter. In the right hands, those JSC ships can look mighty fine!

Many thanks for those nice comments. I must admit the tiny parts strain my eyes and i need new glasses now.
