If your handyman skills are as good as mine, you must have a shelf with a downward slope somewhere? :lol:

Yes my handyman skills are at that (not very) level... :grin:
It seems to be okay. I'm just waiting for the green paint to dry on the inside of those undercarriage doors. I've touched up the canopy framing with black too. Almost done!

Excellent finish Andrew, a very smart looking Sabre if I may say so.

Very bright and vibrant. Great work for sticking through to the end.
