I agree that you'll make a good job of this Ian, got every confidence to be honest. looks like you've made a good start as well.

Just keep the piccies coming so we can see the progress ok :smiling3:

And thanks Ian for the info on the kit, interesting stuff and nice to see that people with knowledge of the original have had a major part in the model design.

Thanks Colin, Have you any hair ? i will need something as thin as that for the rigging
Human hair as rigging? Now there's a thought. Sadly, the only hair I have enough of to spare, is neither long nor straight. What I was wondering about was the wire that is wrapped around some bottles of Spanish wine.

just going through my fishing stuff getting ready for the fly season. . . . i seem to have a varying range of rigging sizes in the form of leader monofilament.

if you get stuck i'll send you a selection down.

Thanks Tony. A quick question are the tail end connectors on the wings noticeable or should they be smooth like the wings ? If you can understand my Question

I think they should be smooth ian , ive been looking at a few images online . I would fill the grooves but leave the raised part so you know where the tail booms need to be attached. cheers tony

From what I have read PC10 could of been any thing between Olive green and Brown.

The few I have painted I have used vallejo Model color, Russian Green. If you want it darker a few drop of brown should do the trick.
