another beautiful Imperial from Tom Dirnberger (who is another fine gentleman in this hobby-my turquoise replacement is on the way) this version is Rosewood Metallic and despite its darker viewpoint, I am much fonder of this one.

Both of these models are spectacular, particularly in the finer details. And, for some odd reason, they look far more lustrous in person than any of the photos I've seen. I had to turn my studio light up a few notches to try and capture their look. I'm still not convinced the video does them justice.

I agree, I had the model in front of me as I processed these photos, it was very tough to even get close to what the model looks like. It really is that amazing in hand.

What a beautiful Imperial ! Both these 1/43s are superb models.
