    Very well done Indeed. I have the Airfix version of this in the stash and so it will serve as an inspiration when I finally get it out.

    Bravo!!

      Blimey! You caught me out there, I thought I was looking at my old crate, not a model.

        Hi Ron
        Looks great to me. I'd have never spotted your "error". Even now I can't really see it.

                Listen Sunshine, it's taken me an age to reach such a high degree of sloppiness - and have the balls to go public with it too!

                So, in future please have a bit more respect for your elders ( By quite some margin)

                Next April, just make sure you take a good look at the Tunnock I might hand you.

                Yours,
                Happy and contented of Chester.

                    The old dear's come out rather well. And there was never any chance of me spotting a 0.5mm error. But let's be honest. I'm guessing this could have happened on a real aircraft. It's not like you can stand back (or above) and compare the two for real. That's your 'get out of jail card' Carry on.

                      Hi Ron

                      I meant to ask, what did you use for the rigging? I do a bit of fishing every now and again and was wondering if heavier gauge mono-filament line might do the job. It's a brown-ish colour BTW.

                      Well done again.

                        Fantastic Ron. Top build. Some of those images would look awesome in black and white. Looks like the real thing.

                          Thanks chaps. Nice to see this taxi-ing into dispersal again.

                          Hi Andrew.
                          I used ezeline. It's thin, stretchy nylon. I'm probably wrong, but I believe it's something to do with fishing. Easy to paint too.

                          Thanks Steve.
                          As requested, a couple of pickies in B/W from this thread.

                                Hi Ron. Didn't want to do this without checking with you first but do you mind if I send your Lanc pictures taken in dusk light to my brother, He would be very interested to see them.
