Thank you for your kind replies, I don't get on the "interweb" much these days so I enjoyed sharing these pics with you

.
I naively thought this would be straightforward having seen other builds, you live and learn!
Yes, the rigging is a PITA with those inboard interplane struts and the fuselarge could've done with being strenthened internally, as it kept coming apart.
I liked the masks, they let you paint the shade you want. Colour profiles of this machine don't show the rocker covers blue, but I think they could well have been,
matching red and white flight's style of markings.
Thanks again,
Tony.
