Sorry no updates or building on this, not been very well ( dodgy tummy ) and now the wife goes into hospital today for gamma knife surgery on the tumor she has very stressful time at the moment

Not the best of times Ian especially when it is the most precious person in your world.

Hope all goes well for your wife & for yourself & that things return quickly to that sometimes elusive plato of tranquility.

Looking good Ian, lovely job on the camo and a great touch with the firework exhausts! Dont let anyone go too near it with a lighted fag though, if theres any unburnt gunpowder in them you might be re-creating the airshow vulcan scramble , taking off from the bench!!!LOL!! keep it up mate its going to look amazing , cheers tony

Nice work on the jet exhausts. Imagine the instructions for a QRA take off - light blue touch paper and stand back..........

Looking good.

The Vulcan was the best thing about "Thunderball" along with the shark pool......I was too young for the charms of Claudine Auger or Luciana Paluzzi. Q was more up my street!

Cheers
