Thanks for comments guys.
Now completed - I've posted a separate thread with the ****finished opener - do I need to do anything else on this sticky?

I think you're good, a mod (probably Wojtek) will unsticky this and then sticky your other one.

Looks fantastic. Very well done.

Hi all
I hope nobody minds a late addition to this fantastic GB. I plan to build P-47D 419562, piloted by Lt.Col. Kenneth W Gallup, 350th FS, 353 FG. Raydon, Suffolk, UK.
Judges - I actually started building 2 weeks ago on the 10th of May, after being given the kit for my birthday, however I've had difficulty accessing the forums since the change of hosting and have only been able to access a couple of pages, after which the site crashed. I think I've solved the problem tonight by using Chrome instead of internet explorer.
Would one of you be kind enough to drop me a PM to say if this would be allowed. I have pictures from May 10 of the unbuilt kit and also some progress shots to upload if I get the OK.
Thanks

Adam

I love old threads resurrected. Especially with a great bit of information.
I hope a few of us here can fill in some gaps. I'm just here to look at airplane pics.
