yknu Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 This model is made from the HK Models pre-series sprues that I got from Neil Yan in Hong Kong June 2013. Me and my wife were having our two week 20th anniversary trip in Asia. I had promised to the her that I will use only one day from theis two weeks for modeling. She knows that when ever we travel, I have to visit local modeling stores, museums and airshows, which she also likes a lot. It took me more than three years to finish this model.

Is it possible to be moved to right one? ... learning learnig.... 2
HubertB Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 You are in the Wingnut Wings "Ready for inspection" sub-forum of the LSM finished work. I am the first to admit this is a bit confusing, but it was, I believe, a decision at the time to have a special focus area on WnW WWI kits. Probably not necessary anymore now, as they have become "mainstream" for a lot of modelers. As for moving your thread, this is admin privilege, so you should ask the staff. Cheers Hubert 2
