Hey Bo,

The top wing on the BII in invisible, isn't that a kind of magic?

We know a song about that....

Seriously though James, absolutely beautiful work, cannot wait to see it with the rigging complete.

Best wishes,

Dave :)

Lovely shot...

Thank you Ernie,

I have the outer wing struts to finish in regards to rigging and then the weathering begins as well as one or tow other bits.
