This looks a nice kit. I built the Classic Airframes limited run kit a few years ago and it wasn't bad. But this ones on a whole new level.I will have to get one. The instrument panel looks good.

Looking good. I did this one a couple of months ago. You will enjoy building it Peter. Came out good. Must get round to putting some pictures up.

Here is my final up date before the decals go on.


It's all painted a nice kit overall not much in the way of fit issues the only one I had slight problems with is the canopy the one piece one needs a bit of fetaling to get it to sit but other than that no real problems
