Lovely bit of work all round (Guess what I'll be asking for next birthday) ;)

Paul

Thanks Ed and Paul!

Paul - you won't regret it - the kit is a real joy to build.

All,

Hope no one minds, but delighted to say I entered my model into a regional model earlier today which took a gold in the aircraft class - I am absolutely over the moon!

Well done Dave.
And a double well done for making a WW1 plane beat all those of other eras.
