Congratulations on such a fine build! Love the water as well! You should put this in the gallery (or maybe you have?)

Very well done! Refits on old models is not an easy thing.

Great!
Nice job! (buen trabajo! :cool_1: ).
Good to see the first and second approach. Both were good, this one is better.
BTW that's my first post, and what better than doing that in a fellow countryman's build.
Didn't find an specific thread for presentations, if there's one, please tell.

Great looking Hood.
