Cool, the canopy framing is done particularly well!

7 months hey? You are patient, I loose interest in a model after a few weeks and then I just "have to get it done" or store it away for a while till the stash runs out and I have nothing else to build LOL!

Very interesting colour scheme Franklyn and another great model from the past. You have quite a collection of beautifully made kits that should be photographed with a really good camera and saved for posterity or possibly put in a museum for future generations to enjoy.
