Hi Jim,
Yes, I finally moved myself to a major build again. I wondered if I had lost my touch, but it went off OK. :thumbs_up_1:
The day I completed it, I put it on my website at 1335 BST, and it was snapped up at about 1600 BST the same day. I sent it off to Belgium at 1030 on a Tuesday morning, and it arrived safely the following lunchtime! It would have been nice to keep it for a bit longer, but at least it has gone to a good home!
Bob
PS, Yes 1:384.

Beautiful build!

Yes, and that included building the display case and plywood carrying case!
That was quite a long time, because I am a bit out of practice at the moment, having lost interest for a few months.
I usually take 50 or 60 hours for similar models.
Bob
