It's looking great Vic - and stop eating hay!

Gee thanks Terry...........................think I'll chew the cud on that a while.

Thanks for popping in folks and a big thanks for the nice words.

Well, she is done, got a nice protective coat on her this morning just before lunch, left it in the shed to dry while having a wee lunch snack. Brought it inside from the shed after lunch and discovered cobwebs running from stbd wing tip to engine the across to, and over the cockpit onto the port wing. The little [email protected]@er could have wandered from the aerial mast to the tail and made the wire aerial for me!

Anyway, here's a bit of a preview.

Sorry about the pics quality, sun has gone walkabout.......................

Bl**dy marvelous Vic! Really looking forward to the lit-up night shots. As they say in all the best film studios "LIGHTS! Camera - action!".

Many thanks mate and action has taken place with a few pics taken just on dusk but you will have to wait until tomorrow for these.

Many thanks Charles.

Thanks David.

I took a few pics last night in the twilight with the lighting on. They have come out quite well but one just can't capture on camera the overall real life effect which I'm more than pleased with.
