Good Morning!
Now we see where Mick gets his 'grit' from! Beautiful Job! It looks like the Monogram kit from days of yore, upscaled and brought to life!

Consummate skill on display there, Frankie :clap: Lovely work.
I wonder, though, how firmly fixed are the bags? and what happens when you need to get at the battery? etc..

My guess is it’s built keeping the battery bay in the bottom of the tank and the top will still split for maintenance access
