Thanks Andrew and Joe, he he yes I have to be quick got so many other things going on would never get these model finished if I did not crack on with them. I am chairman of the Norfolk Broads Angling Strategy group and leader of the Halesworth U3A Astronomy group so I am kept quite busy with all of those. When the weather is grotty and I cant go out star gazing in the evening then its great to be able to relax making a model or two. The Cat looks nice with my other planes I am building up quite a collection of them now. Back to the German planes for my next build and a nice little Focke Wulf Fw189 Airfix kit 1:72 scale to complete.

You've made a great job of that old kit.The canopy frame lines look really good.Something that requires a lot of patience and is not easy to do well.If you like the Cat you should build the Revell/Monogram 1/48 kit.The wing span is huge and there's plenty of cockpit detail to keep you happy.

Thanks Dave.The canopy's where hard to do there was no guide lines to work from so I did each line individually with two strips of tamiya tape peeled it off, let it dry then did the next line and hand painted each one. The Revell kits looks good will have to get one for my stash.
