Im dumbfounded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this the kit or is it aftermarket stuff as well? Looks cool but seems as if its out of my league and price bracket! Unbelievable detail. At this rate i can see somebody crazy enough to try to this in 1/35.
Nice work Ronald

Thanks guy`s

I know it`s a lot of money for a kit
I must say I have some luck with the Aber price tag it was mis labelt and selt for 150 Dmark

For the rest what can I say it`s a hell of a job and cost me a lot of beer

Two words:

Holy Sh#t !!!!!

Seriously, exceptional work. My dream is to one day purchase that model and the Aber set, but I don't know if I can handle that kind of detail.

Not so much on the real one but in the Aber kit they have the fun to put so much parts in it
