    That ladder comes in the kit, as do the FOD things. That, I thought was a nice touch by Airfix. Although the real thing, how did they move it off the aircraft ? It's not exactly QRA friendly.

      Silly me - I thought they were specks of dust on my 'puter screen!

        That is a real beauty of a build. I have one in the stash and have looked at the box a few times...
        A very nice finish you have there. As for all the decals you made it look easy! Nice work.

          When dealing with 1.2 million decals, I recommend, a good podcast, and wine - other drinks are available.
