An inspirational build - along with many others in these here parts you've shown me the error of my ways.

Great job - Great plane - Great build.

Huzzahs from me!

Lovely work, Guy. Just the right amount of "dirty" in her finish, especially up front, to optimise the realism. After watching this project I can't wait to get going on mine.

My goodness, she's a beauty!  You've done an extraordinary job with this one, Guy.  I'm suitably inspired.

Thanks  ;)

Steve - The photography setup consists of my iPhone, a sheet of black card & 2 table lamps :P I'm tempted to get a proper camera & set up, but I quite like the effect I'm getting - the only thing I can't do is a proper close up - It's also the expense of decent camera + photo booth + lamps.. What does everyone else do for pictures?

Striking scheme. And fantastically executed. Builds like this are more than encouragement to buy one of those kits, WNW should pay some royalties for the authors! Very, very nice!
