Tend to agree Wayne, no sense in rushing, it's a great kit and worth the extra time and effort.

OK, put that merlin back in the museum display, and show us the model version.
Great stuff Wayne. Are you going to attempt to add the linkages, as shown in that post in the 'Models that aren't yours' threads? It'll be a heck of a tricky job, but would really set it off.
