That's awesome! I'd leave it just the way it is. Here's a thought: build another one with your updates skills.

Built both of these versions. The silver on in 1985, and I still have it. The orange one was an eBay purchase in 2009. The orange plastic was very strange. Almost translucent. Here'a what it became:

Considering it's illegal to display a swastika in Germany, I guess they had to put something there. But if they weren't Luftwaffe aircraft, would they have swastikas anyway?

Looks nice. I like the colors. Just a little issue I see, the rear tires are not seated properly. The should be on the outside of the wheels, not on the inside like you have them. Like this:

Received an email from Jack at Model Roundup today (like I'm sure many of you all did). Apparently Round2 is issuing a Parts Pack with two 1970s era dirt bikes in 1/25. Says that it will be available in June. http://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/amt-r2-pp-014.htm

Great looking P-51D. Very well done on your marathon build session.

Great looking tram, Harry. Fantastic work.

Nicely done.

Fantastic looking Transtar II.

Found this in YouTube abut the FT-17 from The Bovington Tank Museum:

Harry, that's not frustrating, that's heart breaking!

Don't really know. I just touched the IVECO, and the dash came apart. On the Kenworth that has the water spots, I picked it up to inspect the damage, and the fuel tanks came off. Then the airtank came off! But you know, if I wanted to remove a part from a model, I'd have to basically destroy it to get it off.

That's exactly what I did. Probably be put away for another six months, then it will fall apart again.

I admit that I have been away from the bench for a very long time. But still, it is very frustrating to go back to a model to pick up where you left off only to have it fall apart in your hands! Or to find out that one of your best paint jobs (all be it outsourced) has been destroyed by water, and I'm not sure if I can clean it without destroying it (see first part of rant). Makes me want to just chuck what I've done and start again fresh. It's almost like they're rebuilds. So frustrating!

Very well done. The Ford & the Autocar are just great. I really like that trailer. I seem to remember it from another thread.

That's a really cool looking Euro combination. Well done.

Very nice combination!

It's very possible. The NHC-250 is used in the M-923 series trucks.

Pretty cool diorama. I like the Minion!

Looking really nice!

Nicely done.

Nice base!

Can't say as I've ever seen a chrome P-61. It's probably not very good for sneaking up on people at night, but it sure is interesting.

Definitely has the 70's look to it. Well done.

Very nicely done. Is this shown in Russian service?
