Beautiful work on that G6. Very nicely done.

That’s a nice finish, and I like the markings you added, were they with the kit.

Yes!

The markings were part of the original decals.

Cheers

Good to see Airfix doing something a bit different. Thanks.

Excellent job on the paint and finish. Your work is very inspiring.

This is beautifully done on such a pro model build. I wish I can make models as good as you!

That’s a real beauty of a G6. Nice.

Thanks all

Fantastic job!!

Thats a really nice build! Great job!

Börje “Böge” Hielm (Fi-1) was the founding member of IPMS Finland. I had honour to personally know this fine person. He was also the long time director of the Helsinki Aviation Museum, and he supported me on the initial stage on my own modelmaking career.

It is an honour you modelled his Mersu. Böge was always supportive to us young modellers, and he remains as a hero for us Finnish Generation X modellers.
