Beautifully done Paul.  Not an easy kit for sure.

All the best,
Tim

Hi Tim
Thanks for that matey. I seem to have made rather a meal of this one, but it's currently sitting on the bench waiting a couple of final details and then it'll be ready for its 'Ta Da!' moment and photographing ;D

Well that took a bit longer than expected, but we got there in the end  ;)

I'll post some other pictures on the completed section since it's now on it's snowy base.
Thanks for the encouragement and comments during the rather protracted build. Time to clean the desk off and see what appears next  ::)

That is a beautiful piece of work. Not an easy kit at all IMHO, and you produced something wonderful out of it. I love the paintwork, rigging, etc.

I really can't believe this is a 1/72 Pegasus. The close ups show what a brilliant job you've done.

Glad you like it Warren. I'm growing increasingly fond of the old Pegasus models which are a solid basis for interesting models and they offer something a bit different  ;)

This is a lovely build, I saw it in the flesh at the weekend. But shouldn't there be an extra flying wire on that RH rear bay...... ;) ;D Seriously though, very nice work on a challenging kit.

Obviously that's why the aircraft is sitting there waiting for the replacement wire to be fitted  ;D

Glad you like liked it Nigel - next up is probably another two seater, but who knows . . . .

Thanks Tim
