 There's
not much to see of the interior when the model is finished. |
 Some
decals were self made with an inkjet-printer on decal sheets.
It's clearly visible on this photo, but one doesn't notice it in
daylight. |
 The
loaders seat, detailed with photo-etched parts, is almost a
model itself. |
 The
remarkable exhaust by the company Moskit, regrettably these
products are not
available anymore. |
