Thank you for the kind words. She sits in the Miami-Dade Military Museum now, on exhibit for others to view and appreciate for years to come.

Congratulations, terrific job!

Really well done. And in 1/48 scale she’ll be pretty big! I have one in 1/72 and that’s already impressive.

Having some figures working gives a good perspective of size.
