Struggle was worth the result Glenn, well done..!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Great looking machine Glenn, just a small query though. On the underbelly pic at the port wingtip is what looks like the housing for the landing light lens or is that as it should be.

 

[T Bolt]

You're absolutely right Vic. I must have forgotten about it in the rush to finish. If I still have it I will pop it in tonight.

Defiantly better looking than the 1/72 MPM kit I built 20 years ago. This thing was primitive!
