Title: LOOPTAIL MINI RIPPER ... I'm Getting There !!!
Post by: Steve P on July 23, 2008, 06:54 PM
I've had this project going for some time now and it's finally starting to take shape. It's taken many, many hours of patience and paint stripper to remove over 10 coats of paint and powder but the effort was well worth it in the end

Once again, a massive thumbs up to the 'Decal Master' ... without this man perfection would be impossible. Thanks Del  :4_17_5:

What d'you reckon so far then ... I'm well pleased and plan to build it up very soon  :daumenhoch:
