This has taken me a lot longer than it should have, but I finally finished my Heller Dragon Rapide, with the SBS rigging kit added.
It's painted to represent the 'plane of my '30s pulp adventure role-playing character, famed aristocratic British archeologist, Doctor the Lady Amanda Rose Callder-Llyons, scourge of the Ananerhbe (Nazis. They just make up history as they go along. Frightful people!')

Invisible is the re-jigged interior for her 'expedition' variant 'plane, plus more detail to the cockpit as there's a lot of glass there. And then my brother-in-law, who's RP character is Amy's ace pilot Jo Corben, pointed out I left out the curtains....
The registration is, of course mythical, but does come between two other Rapides
The kit itself is OLD and distorted (even though the boxing was 'eighties!), so the rigging didn't fit and I had to replace half the struts as well as clamping the wings for days to set properly. Still, hasn't turned out too bad, even with the so-so masking job...
