Now there's a kit I haven't built in years. Looking forward to seeing this.

All the best.

Getting read for the big off :mrgreen:

Decals don't look too good so hope if needed I can get some aftermarket ones.

That's going to look very striking when it's done..
Is this your sanderling?.

Nice kit that - I started building one last year and enjoyed it - just don't do what I did and leave it in your car to warp....

Thank you very much. They look ok but if not I may well take you up on your generous offer.

Weight added to nose cone

Also added weight to fuselage halves I will add some more once joined up. You can never have too much nose weight :mrgreen:
Also in the back ground you can see the almost completed cabin floor with seats. I'm not bothering with an IP or Joystick to save on time as it's going to be a very busy few weeks ahead.

That's a safe choice in this case because this kit has one of the most-'Coke bottle' thickness canopies I have encountered. I doubt anybody will notice the missing joystick, Toby!

Sweet. good work so far and at this rate you'll probably be our first finisher. I have one of these in the stash but I started it some time back and was converting it to an RAF nightfighter.

Al the best.

This is coming along nicely!
Interesting to see the biz art appearing to show reheat capability :-D :shock:
Best wishes

Excellent.. it's looking really cool (although I suspect filler is about to play an important role in the proceedings :-D )

Correct and it already has hence the slowness of the build waiting for it to harden.
