My thanks gents for all your meaningful comments, sure gives on the moral boost.
Maligned Cory, not being truly in the know but looking at the RAN history of this machine it could have been so. Of the original 12 purchased, 6 were lost for one reason or another and sadly with some crew members. A 13th machine was purchased from the Royal Navy as a replacement for a lost machine and it is this on that I am duplicating as best I can.
Now for an update. The chute canisters were finished and located within the cabin, so now we are not far of closing the main cabin up but before doing so I decided it would be easier to also finish the cockpit. These are the finished shots.
