Nicely done! I do remember that build now. You built several birds as I recall?

 

[Airframes]

Yes, a total of four models, although the Beaufighter was built some years ago.

Gotcha, will go back and look at your build of that to address some of the kit issues! Thanks!

Just shout if you need any help or suggestions.
