almost doesn't seem to be the same scale. That was a tiny rascal. Must be why they named it the gnat.
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!"..

That is a really super looking build Kari - you've done a really nice job of it - Well done.

Great shot of it next to the Hellcat - It really WAS small wasn't it!

Cheers

Thanks Cherrylock & Stuart,

yeah, it's small and does not take at all space.. funnily, it "fits" to stand on the wing of the Hellcat!
