Unusual looking aeroplane John.I think I made one in my youth.Look forward to seeing what you make of this kit.

Excellent choice john , these old heller kits are really quite good and usually a seldom seen subject (for example their superb Saab j21) . I have recently got my mitts on the Morane 225 by them and its a lovely kit , very delicate surface moulding but standard old heller - not much interior at all! Looking forward to seeing this one come together , and it'll probably make me want to get mine out of the stash! , cheers tony

Got a little bit done on this inbetween watching the football [ATTACH]64554.vB[/ATTACH] No pilot with this kit so I found this one loitering with intent in the spares box

I enjoy seeing these older kits. Nice work on th epilot, he looks less like loitering and more like working now.

That is a great silver finish ......... the detail on the engine is first class as well ......

......... I'm just not sure about the finish on the tweezers though....... They need a bit more work

Looking very nice John Think i may need to try the Alclad

[john i am]

I have to say Ian that I am very happy the way the alclad turned out and it's easy enough to apply even for me ! I will definitely be getting some more as I know there are a lot of different finishes thank too everyone for your positive comments :grinball1:
