Very nice job on the Hurri Fred - she’s coming together well.

I built the same kit several years back. Once the flash is trimmed, it’s a very fine, good fitting kit with some incredible detail. I was very impressed with the decals as well. Some of the best I’ve ever used.

I’ll be watching as this one comes together - the Hurri is my favorite !
