Thank you for the wonderful build Marco. It really is a remarkable model well executed.

Though I'm wondering where the small scale bottle of champagne is that was used to launch it?

Tempting for a few creates of Star Lager

Well done Marco looks good

I've improvised a box for the SD-14, so it seems I'll be able to get her out of Nigeria:

Did she ever get to her destination

Yep, she's now in the Netherlands. I will have to do some minor repairs, but generally in good shape.
