Besides your extraordinary skills your are so inventive Dan. The joints of the plywood are masterly done. You make it so difficult for us, all words of admiration are consumed.

Kind regards
Patrick

are you going to cover all the work up with fabric or just leave it open?

This is just remarkable Dan. I'm lost in admiration.

Given that the real thing from tip to tail was what, 21ft long (?) and the model is in 1/8 scale, would I be right in thinking that what we're marvelling at here is only about two feet long?

Best wishes
Nigel

Exceptional workmanship on the cockpit padding, the access panels and the windscreen, all done to an extraordinary high degree of detail and expertise by a master craftsman.
