The Chroszy kit provides a starting point, and it helps, but it has some shortcomings you may like to be aware of, so read the construction article if you think of building this one.

My thanks to Mika Jernfors of Arctic Decals from whom I commissioned the simple images this one needed, being civil-registered.
