That's ever so nice. You must be well pleased with yourself and quite rightly too.

The wasp is like a Chinook against this tiny baby.

It's now compled the decals are badly out of register but it only effected the national roundals and was easily corrected with a blob of paint.

The cyclic control bars looked to thin using the kits PE parts so I scratch built a new one from lead wire apart from that it's OOB.

Cheers Guys.

It has been in my stash for a couple of years because I was just too scarred to build a multi media kit, but as it was it was pure pleasure just the thing I needed to get my building mojo back.
