Nice progress. Interesting subject

 

[papa 695]

Thanks Graham

 

[Gern]

I knew you'd make a good job of this Ian! Is the build quality as good as it looks in the box?

Hi Dave thanks for the comment. Yes the kit goes together very well, no flash and only few sink marks but they are on parts that won't be seen, but some of the PE is a little fiddly
