Amazing Are the tracks from photo-etch as well? It's unbelievably realistic...

WOW! What a beautiful, beautiful model. At first I thought it was 1/35! It looks like 1/72? Stunning craftsmanship, and a great paint job. Excellent work.

A real shame to have covered this one up with paint!

Very skilled work on such a small build, well done.

Most impressive. That's the PART kit, I believe? I greatly admire the delicacy of getting those PE bits to fit so well.

Nice work Przemyslaw! Very awesome project!

It puts to shame that thread titled "What's the big deal with photo etch?" doesn't it.
