Finished my Airfix 1/600 RMS Mauritania as a WW-I troopship. I bought a set of Tom's Modelworks 1/400 PE by mistake and after emailing Tom received a 1/600 set at no charge. Thanks Tom. I'll be returning the 1/400 set along with an additional order soon.....mike T

I'm blinded! That camo scheme does tricks to the eyes, It must of done the same thing while painting it Mike! I guess thats why they used schemes like that. To confuse the enemy. Very sharp build Mike, I have the same kit in my stash.

I can't imagine the time it must have taken to mask off that color scheme. Not to mention the time spent researching it. Hat's off, it's a real winner. I wonder if anybody who had never tried something will see it for the great job that it is.
