    Carl, from what I've seen of your He III, your work is excellent, so don't belittle yourself.
    Carry on!

      Like it Ron? Absolutely love it.

      I'd not heard of this story until you started your build thread. Interesting and obviously a sad story from the pilot's perspective.

      Very nicely rendered, you should be proud of it.

        Thanks Andrew. A sad tale indeed.

        Have you seen the mess the Egyptians made of 'Restoring' Copping's P-40? What a disgrace!

        As for being proud of it, don't tell anyone, but I must confess to being well chuffed with the end result.

        Cheers.
        Ron

          Excuse me Ron and Andrew.

          Didn't they just, a complete mess. Surprised when they are really good at keeping the historic remains so well.

            570 .
            I can see now how you obtain such good back drops, being up high in the crows nest at Spanner Hall !
            You are quite right saying about taking care to set up a photo, I normally just want to do an up date, and tend to take the photo with out any thought.
            But, will now attempt final photos with care.

            Yours Arthur Slapdash.

                You're quite right to be chuffed there Ron (I won't tell anyone though!). A great result
