U know, u always have a certain view of your work. Sometimes the result matches your expectations, sometimes not.

Re: Bolleken's 1:72 stuff
You are correct about expectations being met or not or sometimes exceeded—sometimes all three happen during construction. I really like the last photo you uploaded for the angle, lighting and it’s color balance—another “trifecta.” Thanks for the tip on the 1:72 version of the V1. Looks like a nice kit...
Make more models!

Very nice work on the multi tone bare metal panels.

After I did the last steps I was able to finish my Saab SK-37 Viggen by Matchbox. 30 years ago I finished one too as my first kit which was painted according to boxart and instructions. It got lost during the years. And today finished again. This one is very important for me.
Hope you like it too.

Incredible! And such a great feeling I share with you—the connection with the past and replacement as well building so beautifully I hope will make your Christmas bright! You made my day and now it is night—so you made my night as well.
