Not sure wht happened to my previous post - server said it was too busy.

Anyway, I was complimenting your fine work Terry. I like the slight droop of the gear doors, something I was thinking of doing to avoid the major superdetailing on my Monogram Mustang.
 
Thanks very much Andy. I thought I was having a problem with my PC, as every action on the forum seemed to be taking time, then I got the 'Busy' and 'Internal Server Error' messages too. Must have been a bit of a 'cough' in the sytem.
 
Nice model Terry - looks well used by the pilots of 541 Squadron!

Makes a change to see the PR blue.

Roger
