    Great update Squiffy, lots of progress in a short time as usual! I really like the revised Scarff Ring and gun mount details, lovely detail work in such a small scale. As someone has already remarked, doesn't look at all like the one I built decades ago! :o
Cheers,

A great update Squiffy, the rigging is very well done and looks fantastic and the work you did on the scarff ring is excellent, overall the model is looking extremely good.

Thanks again, chaps.

Well, she's finished and it has been a really enjoyable build. Turning such a basic old kit into something half decent has been very interesting.

Final touches are the control rigging, Lewis gun and decals.

It looks nothing like the old original Airfix kit, you have turned this into a very stunning looking model, well done and thank you for showing us your methods of improving this kit.

   My sincere compliments Squiffy, that's some very talented and impressive modelling! You've done wonders with a very old and basic Kit, it's a beautiful example of what a love of the Hobby and application can do!
   Simply great work and I enjoyed following your progress.
