A superb and outstanding model Lance and a worthy Gold Medal winner! This is also a very poignant tribute to Des & Adrienne.

My thanks to you for sharing this outstanding model with us. You represent the very best qualities of our Forum.

Lance

I want to echo what Dave has written: a very fine tribute to Des' memory and to Adrrienne, and a well deserved gold medal. I too think that you represent the best qualities of this forum and follow in the footsteps of Des in that respect.

Stephen.

Lance, I can only sign all the nice comments about you, your Albatros and your tribute to Des.

But what I found also impressive is the difference between the dusty and weathered finished model on page 10, compared to the pics on page 9 :o What a huge difference ...

I will wait patiently for the final pictures.

Cheers,
Frank
