Most excellent work Mr. E, and in record time as well! 8-)

I'm repeating myself here, but except for a few minor details, this kit looks perfectly adequate even today.

Well done John :D

Definitely a youthful look and another cracking figure too ;)

Though the Hornet head is outside the time zone :roll:

Nice one

Where is the base from, or was it scratch built? Looks awesome!

Beautifully done John!

Again and again I here come to the conclusion that you can do a whole lot with skilful painting of even an 70s era kit :mrgreen:


Best regards
