Was worth waiting! Two words: Bravo, bravo, bravo (three actually!) What did you use for the portholes, finally? Plastic, brass?
Have a well deserved K for your work.

Hi Robert Like I said before you can only do your best thanks for your kind words the portholes are supplied by Hachette as part of the kit and they are made of brass mike

Very nice work. I wish mine was somewhere near this stage, I've got the parts, but not the time.

Great model Mike and I can't wait to see the crew you'll decide on.
If my calculations are correct I'll say they must stand about 1,5 cm tall ?
Have a K.
