Hi Gary,
Excellent 'Dove' and figures.
Also your display storage couldn't be better.
Way to go  :D

Thanks for the kind words, Mike. You'd asked previously about the resin wheels supporting the weight of the kit. I did actually measure this once the kit was built, and the two wheels support a total of 74 grams - so no problem there. I've also seen where modellers have thought to put stronger mono-filament rigging on the tops of the wings so that they don't sag, but found that the way the wings are solidly attached to the fuselage, I had no issues just using the stretchy EZ-Line with no droop on the wings at all.
Cheers,
Gary

Great looking displays, Gary.  I see you seem to have a preference for German aircraft?

Thanks Ken, and yes - I do have a bias in that regard just looking at the collection in general. Perhaps that "Blue Max" film I saw at a tender age made an impression  ;)
Cheers,
Gary

Great models in great display cases. The large one with all round viewing is particularly good with excellent lighting. Now, the book on the table beside the Taube means there may be a treacle sponge pudding somewhere in the house......
