King Kong
King Kong
A fellow model maker kindly sent me a metal kit of the Empire State building. It was out of my normal building zone, but I had to build it. It knew I had a wreck of a Sparrowhawk that someone had sent me to restore, but I had not got around to it. It isn't the type used in the King Kong film, but it was all I had. It took me another two weeks to find a gorilla in a charity shop. So here's a bit of fun.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

You were lucky to find a gorilla at all, let alone in 2 weeks...
