I hope you enjoy it. :ernae:
 
Merida, I really would recommend you change your image host site. I know, as an ex-account holder myself, that Imageshack takes an eternity. I changed to Photobucket, and it is much much faster.
 
Absolutely beautiful paint jobs!!! Screenshots are superbly done!

The second of three fantastic Corsair II volumes from RAZBAM. Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!

Long live the SLUF!
