    Thank you Andrew. The stand works really well but I had to modify the top where it connects to the aircraft. The block is way too big and would require a large hole in the underside. I removed the lug and added a pin instead
    Thanks. I'll bear it in mind for the future!

      Uhh Mick, I thought you were building a North & South Dakota? I just saw this and you are already done. Great looking build my friend and I guess it only took about 3 hours, huh? Great camo finish and the decals look tops too. How long do you think the antenna wire will stay intact with you playing with it???...Or is that why you put it on the stand...

      Prost

        Hi Allen, you guessed it, the stand to stop me flying it around the house with my spitfire chasing it. I've just updated my Dakota build, one completed and delivered to my pal and mine is now clear coated ready for a bit of weathering.
        Take care

              Can't see 1/72 well these days , so agree there Mick . The only trouble is the size they take up in 1/35 .
