                        You are right M.B.- and yes, it appears that way in the photos. I was only trying to remove the decals (what was left anyway) and inadvertently took off some primer from the kit! I have a bunch of these, some in worse shape than others ;-)

                        I've done this with a few kits myself. It has it's own sense of reward when you complete it. Almost like restoring a car lol.

                        I assume the top row is the before pictures and the bottom row is your work?

                        Pawel, yeah - I think so. Keeps me off the streets at night! ;-)

                        What I'd like to ask would be:

                        Is it worth it?

                        Good luck and have a nice day

                        All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

                        Old kit that was an Ebay 'rescue'. A link to the album, since I still can't get any photos to show on this site.
