Thanks Steve & Sandy,

Looks like oven cleaner then!

Wow Guy. That looks like a major undertaking but one in very good hands. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Cheers

It looks quite simple Guy. I reckon a week for the build?

Just kidding- it looks spectacular and would take me a full year at my pace. Looking forward to following this one.

cheers

Thanks,

Yes, there’s a lot going on in the box! It is a big job, and as much as I’ve been racing through kits at the moment, I won’t be rushing this one. I may well be making other kits too alongside, so it could potentially be a long job!

Just a little perspective...

Versus my Fokker 1/72 engine.

HUGE! This will be a pleasure to see building. And a great Fokk hanging from the ceiling.
Ciao.
