Nice project, count me in! Is it going to be RLM02 all over? Looks that way in the profile, or is it a French colour?

Rv
Thanks Wim. I think it is more greenish... a strange color,, not defined yet. Maybe between RLM02 and a light olive drab.

Does the Voyager Scriber actually work ? I've got one and didn't get to use it yet.

Yes, it works. Useful and cheap tool.

At the moment I am restricting myself to only buy tools,detail sets etc.... No space to hide complete boxes anymore..... And not much time to building them either! But thanks a lot for the suggestion!! 🙂

There's always room for "just one more"...😉

Ha ha ha not impossible, but my Tetris skills are stretched to the limit.... Still room for some more PE and resins inside of the existing boxes! 😄 😄

Seen this quote on « Scale modeling jokes » FB page:
« I've come to the conclusion that buying models and actually building them are two separate hobbies ».
