Hope you got your magnifiers and tweezers at the ready Ian.

So when (and if ....) I get around to mine, I'll have no problems apart from some 'fiddly' PE? I wish!

I've just read through the thread again and realised you haven't shown all the boys and girls just how big this thing is. How about one with the now universal standard of measure for model kits?

Superb work Ian , its another tiddler isnt it. The decks look great and i dont envy you with the p.e.! Its a very finely moulded kit , I was very impressed with the Bronco kit i just got too , lovely detail and p.e. and a turned brass pitot included , it seems theyre a company to watch out for , cheers tony

Yes Bronco seem to be quite good, clean crisp mouldings and from what I've seen quite accurate

I'm glad I showed this to you! You're doing a cracking job, but you still haven't shown the boys and girls how big this is!
