Des,
I cant say enough to justify my appreciation of your SKILL! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL will have to do ! And you do it so quickly!! I can't build an OOB build in the amount of time you take to scratch these awesome works!!

Absolutely gorgeous, as usual! Each build gets better, and I would have thought that impossible about 3 builds ago!

The term "Museum quality" is an often mis-used, and mis-subscribed term on model forums and pages - however in this instance: or for the life of me ... I cannot think of a better one!

Staggeringly good.

Hello Des,

It's the real thing! I am breathless. Even though I knew your extreme skills and craftmanship, I never thought it would become so wonderful. Simply stunning!

Kind regards
Patrick

Thanks for all the very kind comments, they are much appreciated.

I made and fitted the two wing incidence adjusting wheels. I also applied plywood to the top front section of the fuselage, the undercarriage framework is now fitted to the fuselage. I have also painted the tail and fitted the fin/rudder to the tail plane. I fitted the "steering wheel" and the seat to the cockpit, also made and fitted a pressure pump.
