Crikey Chris, that's a brilliant result, you really knocked this kit into shape, I really love the result of your hard work mate, and to be honest i can't see any problem with it, it certainly looks the part, and compliments 'Tiger' excellently,

I do have one request if it's possible... can you video the Seaking in action and post it up for us all ?.. I'm sure the rest of the folks on here would love to see her doin' her thing..

She looks great Chris, you can be justifiably proud of that.
HI Garry cheers for your comment as i dint think it was gonna be a gooer as to how badly things fitted in this kit but i love a challenge an thank goodness i do as really im amazed how its turned out as a small kit like this i would normally build in a couple of day but as i fitted all the extra stuff to the kit it took me nr two months as some bits could not be carryied on with till something eles is done an then the same again on something else anyway have you heard anything of your plans yet ? AN HOPE you are well

Chris,

Yet again, simply outstanding work. Wouldn't even know where to start.

Very, very well done indeed.

All the best.

Andrew
