Nice work on your I 401 project Kenny. I especiallly like the figures on deck that give a sense of size to this behemouth of a sub. The second aircraft finished in its' original colors is also a nice touch.

A beautiful job on the kit, and an outstanding presentation. I hope you plan to enter it in some IPMS Shows, because that has "AWARD" written all over it.
Congratulations.
Cheers,
Mike
