Even closer now. All bits attached and all painted. Needs a few bits of mattcote but I'm waiting for paint to dry. I'll get the matt on in the morning and should be able to take some pics at lunchtime.

A few dabs of mattcote and a couple of hours drying sees von Werras machine ready for take off!

What can I say about this kit that hasn't already been said? Not a lot really. Great detail, great fit, great kit!
Many thanks for the support along the way, it always means a lot.

Just looking at this again Ian, is one of the prop blades bent a little bit ?

You're quite correct (and well spotted!). The white board I had standing behind the model fell forward after I had taken the first picture and bent the aerial mast and one of the prop blades. I bent them back as best I could as I didn't want to run the risk of snapping them.
I guess I was lucky not to have the legs snap off.
