Very nice build, the new Airfix kits look really good
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

I’ve been wanting to get one myself.

If you don’t mind me asking... what’s the dimension of this kit? I’m assuming it’s 1/48 scale, correct?

Yup, I’ll just hop on the bandwagon with Clint and Tom. I’d like to hear and see more about this nice kit. Very nice work CL!

:P1: What they said!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Beautiful! Also, is the base a new one? What a very specific vision the base of fresh cleared field makes. Whoever wrote that “a great base improves the model” knew what he was writing about. A great model and a great base! Cheers, mate.
Make more models!

Presentation....

I can put that same build forth in a contest, with or without a basic base, and the addition of a base will usually tip the scales...
