Fun project! A very small scale and not easy to work in. Glad to see that you are being innovative in your scratch techniques, the challenge is half the fun. Things always look better in person than in photos!

Its amazing, especially that you can find the patience to redo a once finished model.

That's sure not Revell's Iowa anymore.

Still following alone. Glad you are having such a great time with this Historic kit.

Nice work!
