Great job SBS! If you examine some of the photos Richard provided you can see the intricate detail of the

examine the top and bottom views of the model next to the testors paint bottles to get an idea of how well
Richard was able to apply the camo, in such a small scale, quiet amazing and rivaling some of Jean's work.
