Mike, excellent as always. How did you color match the shark decal?

I have only seen one other 1/72 Gazelle better than this excellent model and that was Milk Trip's model 🙂

Thanks guys!
@choppa That is indeed a fantastic build. Bookmarked for future reference...

neat way of doing the shark Greg 👍
I have this kit and I can really appreciate what both you and Milk Trip have achieved as it is such a small model indeed !!
This photo is especially cool 🙂

Mike, I love the build! Your style of finish is very distinctive and I like the "clean detailed" look.

Now that is beautiful Mike! Your precision is stunning- I have an idea what that old Airfix kit initially looked like... 🙂
Just awesome!

Album info

Biggest challenge on this old kit was the clear parts; I replaced the doors and upper windows with acetate. Also did quite a bit of cabin detailing. Markings are from Model-Art.
