Hi guy's,
As some of you know my girlfriend supports my hobby and lets my spend my money on "the plastic stuff".
She surprised my on chrismass by giving me a compressor for my airbrush and so I wanted to gif her a moment and introduce her to you all on the big A.
so................
She goes by the name of sozan and is the only one who still puts up wiht me and my hobby ( so I'll have to hold on to this one

)
And to keep it a bit more intreting who is you're other half? (a sort of show and tell if you will)

Nice looking model there Janwillem....

Subtle weathering and no seemlines at all!!!
Just want to point out that some bare metal is still showing through around the bellybutton area, maybe that has to be retouched a bit!!!
You're a lucky man!

She looks like a lovely young lady. And any women that can put up with the often rather strange idiosyncrasies modellers have, has to be nominated for Sainthood. :-) :-) :-) :-)

Jim,
Now you know why I chose to go to Holland to earn my Jump Wings! The "scenery" in Holland is a lot better than Fort Benning. Jan...She's a keeper. Best wishes to you both.
