Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Looks great so far. Is that pilot smoking?

Very nice job on the Hurri Fred - she's coming together well.

I built the same kit several years back.  Once the flash is trimmed, it's a very fine, good fitting kit with some incredible detail.  I was very impressed with the decals as well.  Some of the best I've ever used.

I'll be watching as this one comes together - the Hurri is my favorite !

PS: Nice Mustache !
