Congratulations, Guy.  She's stunning.  I have this kit and was planning on a PC12 scheme.  Now, I'm having second thoughts.
Cheers,
Bud

Great job Guy.

I'm a fan of the silver interwar colours. I hope mine turns out somewhere near as nice.

It's the bees knees mate. I'm inspired to do my M1c in as a

That's beautiful, Guy.  The cowling really sets off a striking model.
