ok here's my first build for this GB, continuing my the Fleet Airm Arm Aircraft having done a Corsair and a Hellcat.
this aircraft started all the good natured ribbing of our friend Terry, which he takes with good humor and have been waiting for ages to do this subject since finding the picture below.

sorry Dogsbody, hope you'll forgive me ?

Great choice for first aircraft entered. I'll dig around for a suitable figure. (cough, cough.)

I hope it will be after finishing of the model, Karl.

OK, he can finish the model first - then I kill him, but only once!
That was quick work Red Two, and looking good.

was up early today, every one else was still in bed so made a start, the parts are just resting together not glued but the Vallejo paint does dry very quick so it helps productivity a bit !!!

and thanks
