The grit was appearing as I brushed so I'd have to have found a box big enough to put me in too ;-0

The 'shed' is getting a spring clean. The wife keeps pointing at the dust on my display shelves... :oops:

Well I can't see any of those things in the photo James, it looks great.

There certainly is something about the 'underslung' Yak's, so simple a way to make a plane jet powered.

So is it a better build than the PM?

Cheers
Jim

Bags more detail, accurate and a good canopy. The PM Yak-15 probably makes a good starter kit for a kid, but it's painted bright red all over and that's just about all there is to see.
