    Hi Akelatheleader,

    You've done a great job on the build!

    I remember building the same Model some 30 years ago

    Cheers, Ed

    Didn't Cash recently build one of these for his Texas Navy Flotilla?
    Sure it was more like 1/35?
    Whatever the scale, nicely built, well done 👍
    Cheers, Doug 😎

    I agree Roy👍
    Just looked up Cash's version; Robbe kit, 1/40 ~35".

    So 1/72 comes out at about 20", which I just confirmed at Tamiya.com🤔

    BTW AK, there's a photo etch upgrade set available for the Tamiya kit

    Nice Finish to the build, a good looking MTB.

    Some pics found on the net.
