I hope you enjoy the photos. This was an enjoyable build, but after the scratch built Lloyd and the seat-of-the-pants experience with this one, I'm looking forward to a WNW kit! ;)

Cheers,

Bob

Post by: lone modeller on October 20, 2013, 06:26:50 AM: Fantastic build and a very interesting colour scheme and markings. Makes a real change from the rather drab PC 10 of contemporary RFC machines.

Or that is wrong with the landing gear - either too short rack, or wider than the distance between the wheels.
