A hearty congratulations, Des, on another truly brilliant museum piece!  She is absolutely stunning, mate.  Now, I'll go take a peek at the rest of the pics, if you don't mind.
Cheers,
Bud

Superlatives can be over-used but they’d all apply with this build. Even after seeing the other models Des has built I’m still amazed at the quality of this one.

Another stunning piece of work Des. As Bud suggests this is of museum quality; one of the better museums.

So what next? I've just come across a Dick Dastardly and Muttly cartoon. There's some interesting vintage designs there!

Best wishes
Nigel

Alan - the boxkite has been on my mind for some time now, it would be an interesting scratch build in 1:32 scale.

Andrew - thank you for your comments and I would be only too pleased to see you down here.
