Thanks Son,

Wow Bob, that has really come along! Curious as to what parts you used the foil on. It doesn't really show in the photos. (definitely good technique there, something to learn)
Thanks Paul,
Two straps on the rear under the spare tire. you can see them clearly though. On the interior, several parts on door panels, (Hard to see), I used it on the running boards as well as on the engine. The generator for one example. It's great stuff for model cars. It looks more subtle than the really bright chromed sprues. The application couldn't be more simple. Just follow the instructions. It's easy to apply!

Thanks Eric,
I remember thinking when I bought it that it would go well with a British pilot figure, but since, as it was a 1948 or 49, that idea lost it's appeal.

Very clean!
Than k you Sir!

Thanks Chris!

Well, finally finished. I left the top as well as the top cover unattached so I could photograph it three different ways. It was a relatively easy build. Of course, it is an ancient kit with the problems of all old kits. The decals fall apart when immersed in water despite all the Micro sol and Micro set I used. No matter, I really didn't need them.
I like the way it turned out and it was fun to photograph. There are a lot of photos. I'll post this in the Another World Completions forum as well.
And then, I took some outside for a different look.
Yes the top isn't glued on!
I really enjoyed this build. I needed something to make the transition from 2 years of no modeling before going back to my big one!
Thanks for looking in!

Love this little red thing 
Since I can remember, my goal in modeling everything has been realism. I try to make them, stand alone models or dioramas, as close as possible to the real thing. When I photograph them, they sometimes fool non-modelers, especially the dioramas.
I agree, no better compliment as far as I am concerned! Thank you and thank your wife!

Thanks Laurence!
Looking forward to when you get settled into your new job and new town, you can get back to the Bismarck!
