Superb! That's a really snazzy scheme and a quality finish!

Best wishes

That is a stonking build and a first rate tutorial on how to fettle this kit.

Why did they use a Shak for parachute trials?

Thanks David, Paul, iggie, Nigel, cast0260, O_T.
Some of the chutes they tested were rather large drogue chutes for jet aircraft including TSR-2 and it needed to be an aircraft of a certain size and weight to safely do so.
