Thank you all for your kind remarks. I can't give enough credit to Gino and others for their help, as well as the Meng kit. It really builds up into a wonderful kit, and I am a crank about urging my friends to buy and build it.

You did such a great job on that kit, Bill. Having seen it in person, I can tell you that those awards are well-deserved. Plus, I'm flattered that I could contribute in a small way. Enduring those pee bottles rolling around at my feet was not done in vain!

Stunning level of detailing Bill. The black scrapes / chips / dirt on the front of the track guards particularly caught my eye, very nicely done, very random. Nice set of photos too!

*Multi*-award winning.

Chris, it's the small details that make for a good build. I consider this a group effort, and the awards, while nice, are meaningful because of all the guys who contributed. Maybe it's a tiny way to say "thanks" for your service to our country.

Thank you, Matthew. I am very flattered by all the kind words you and others have offered. It's a GREAT kit, so if you haven't purchased one yet, don't wait.
