Nice job Dave. If you don't mind, please take note of the photo requirements here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/group-builds/group-build-photo-requirements-17034.html. We'll need a shot from behind. The one you have of the underside can be used as one of 4 optional pics you're allowed in addition tot he 6 mandatory shots.

Thanks for the kind words chaps

Not sure they are deserved given the standards of work round here, but the encouragement is most appreciated
