    Prosit Lou

    I admire your perseverance in rendering this old and difficult kit into the true masterpiece that it will be - up to your usual sky high standards.

    Keep at it Lou.  cheers

    WOOW!!! Outstanding work. What a difference when painted, they look totally awesome, if there wasn't the coin i would say they were in 72nd scale. Prosit tassew. How the hell do you manage to paint them so accurately in that minute scale? They are finished so neat. And those decals, i would have sent everything to hell. You will always be the best!
