Dave, I thought to stop back in and have a look. Stunning work, and I like the layer by layer approach. I have this on my bench, and see I need to get cracking. Thanks for the inspiration!

Built the tropical radiator at the weekend.
Needs painting, but leaving that for a few days.
Getting the fuselage ready to spray silver.
And all the other wee bits. Have a good week lads. :D

ps

The underslung radiator was basically, just a cut
down normal sized one. Some had canvas covers
which were fitted at night, as the desert got bloody
cold, so when they started the Liberty in the daytime,
it gave the engine time to warm up correctly.
