Well done with the framing. All looks nicely fitted.
Thanks Jim and Andrew. Just got some new references that show the cargo door with a large window and some pylons on the side.Wow!
Cheers,

Were you serving there John? Just saw a documentary on Mad Mike in Aden.I will follow if I may. I remember these flying out of RAF Khormaksar (Aden) when I was there in the '60s. Weird, ugly beasts.
John.
Glad you like it so far Ian.Just pulled up my chair Richard, really liking what I’m seeing so far. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Mick. Finally added the flooring.That's great work on the interior so far Richard
Have been replenishing my stock recently Jakko.You must have quite a stash of thin plastic strip
Doug, so that's what they called.Nice job on the longerons and stringers on the interior there Richard.
I’m sure that endeared it to its crews, yes.a tendency to spontaneously catch fire.
Were you evacuated by Aircraft carrier at the later stage of leaving Aden?Hi Richard. I was in Aden 64 to 67, so basically the whole of the "Emergency". I was not in the forces though. I was in a branch of the Diplomatic Service.
John.
Not dissimilar to a ASW Sea King then!!not the least of which was a tendency to spontaneously catch fire.
Thank you Jim.Nice improvements to the exhausts.
John, same reception if you enter my country armed.Hi Richard. No, I came out on one of the last aircraft. Nearly got arrested at UK Customs. They didn't like the fact I was still armed. Seems it was frowned on in the UK.
John.
Thanks Ian, it's quite fun if reference is available. Because its so small I get away by just eyeballing the detail and measurements. Anyway after that ridiculous jungle diorama I needed some scratch relief.I do enjoy seeing these older kits being brought up to standard. Nice one Richard.
Right on Scottie.Wabble,
This is what the fun part is for me, taking an older less detailed kit and giving that tweak to make it better.
Touche Tim.Scratch relief and tweaks they call it…..and they are two of the best around in my opinion…….
