Very, Very nice work. Both the build and the paint job are top notch.

How did you achieve the recessed bolt heads in the ERA?

Excellent job on both the build and the paint & weathering.

I just feel like a coward now. I keep pulling that kit out, look at it, and then put it back. There's awful lot of work required to make this kit look good. Now I get to see what's possible!
