And just what would an IPMS judge think of that display! :lol: :twisted:

Very ingenious, and pretty neat that Airfix appreciated his handiwork.

It would be 'points off' because the pilot figue is .0000006 in. mislocted per the instruction sheet, and no decal sheet present-

I've always marvelled at modelling dioramas depicting a TIGER tank sitting in a field of battle debris, mud, blown up stumps but looking absolutely factory fresh,not a speck of anything on the vehicle or the tracks, and wondered how did it get there and remain so pristine? Did Black Forest dwarfs carry it in there? And it's amazing that anyone would take an AIRFIX 1/72nd 'Frightning' under any circumstances let alone the manufacturer!

But I love the 'thinking out of the box' aspect of it :D :D :lol: :lol:
