Every modeller's cabinet or shelf needs one of these, I am calling it finished even though I will do a few little things with a paint brush here and there tomorrow, I just wanted take a few pictures and experiment with my flash and tripod. I totally buggered up the nose decal and had to resort to home made decal coupled with with a bit of masking and paint..the curves were just too complex to have any hope of any decal conforming.
