Nice work Chief! And you solved a problem for me. I had a tail light drop off my Italeri M8.I don't even know when or where. Time to make a tarp to drape over the right rear fender.
Thanks Chief

Nice one Chief. I like the humor part especially about the bird. Is it a Parrot by chance?

Nope, he is a nasty little parakeet and tries to bite me whenever I get close to his cage. I can whistle back and forth with him, but never get close to the cage.

Chief--well done, very interesting aproach to completion. The AFV Rubber Chevron Track is really eye catching. Good job.

Chief - I like this one too. I especially love the big old chrome yellow codes from that time period. I'm doing my first M4 the same way...
