Dave,
    If the finish is even half as good as your progress thus far you've got an absolutely stunning masterpiece here. A beautiful example of the modellers' art! Hope you post lots of photos of the final product.
Great work all round!
Cheers,

Thanks Lance, doing the cowlings now, which will be left off, and then
on to the top wing and all that's involved there. Rigging is always a
challenge, but I actually enjoy doing it. The air can get blue, but the
end result (hopefully) shows. Have a good one.
