Stunning!  Absolutely beautiful work on this kit Gary. No one single thing to compliment above anything else.  Everything is equally done to the nth degree!

One question. In the navigators area, what is the padded object behind the pilot seat? Some sort of chart cabinet with a leather cover? 

Thanks,
Tim

Gary,
    My sincere compliments and congratulations for an absolutely magnificent piece of work! So much to see here and little wonder you've spent 12 months at it, the detailing is stunning and everywhere I look is, as Tim says, "done to the nth degree"!
    Well done Sir, and one to be very proud of indeed!
Cheers,
Lance

I completely agree with Tim and Lance - everything done to the nth degree sums it up well. I too am not surprised that it took so long to make - in fact it could have taken longer!

That is modelling of the very highest quality.

! A masterpiece - the best F.2a build I've seen. And I don't think I've seen this particular scheme applied to the Wingnuts kit before. Brilliantly executed.
Thank you for showing us this!

Wow, that’s impressive — and not only due to its size but because this is first rate modelling!

Terrific. Scale Modelling at its best. I don't have the right words...

However, I'm just curious... do you have some kind of showcase which is sufficiently large?
