Hello all,
Another long period away from the bench for me. Have spent the last few weeks and months decorating and tidying my model room, sorting my stash, and selling stuff I'll never build.
This Eduard Hellcat has been sitting on my shelf since 2013, and was in the "sell or bin" category.
After dusting it off, I decided that, with a bit of TLC, it could have a renaissance of sorts.
The TLC has taken the form of some minor repairs and then some repainting and weathering.

Anyone else redo older models or just build new?
Matt

Thanks for the comments chaps!
This restoration project is nearly done. First time around I was less than happy with the wheels so now repainted.

And she's back up on her legs properly again.

Only a few minor bits to do now and she can go back on display!
