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.

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!
