Thanks, I initially thought about getting a diecast vehicle but wanted to get a kit that I’d build and paint myself. It’ll be for a diorama that I plan to build over the coming months.

Hi all, I'm a newcomer to this forum and look forward to seeing the great models you are all creating and hopefully will share some of my own sometime. I mainly model sci-fi subjects but have recently branched out into real-life subjects. Looking forward to participating in this forum...
