@Russelle Regarding the S-199, that one is not a REAL 109 and I have my reputation to think of so I would of course NEVER EVER DREAM OF building one. Or two ! Just by looking at the sprues: it is a worthy addition to the stash and well worth risking the wrath of the Gods (or the wife) for !
And a small Emil-update as well:
Primer, some dark aluminium and salt-chipping. Let’s see if this works better than me doing the chipping with a paint brush, no matter the amount of practice and studying of Youtube videos, I still only end up with something that looks like smeared paint
