| I can't help but thinking this isn't all that different from building a 1/72 version... |

I thought LM had invested millions in a robotic painting facility. Of course the lettering would still be done by hand but in the photos it looks like most of the coatings are still being applied by hand.

| I'm not sure but I think that first pic is much older than 4018... |

| Although it is of 4018, I think I've seen these photo from years ago. |
