I was quite looking forward to the move too. Still, the dump I'm living in is now in better nick than No 29 so perhaps it's for the best.

I thought you'd be around Dave.........what a stroke of luck 570 didn't take you up on your offer to move in! Instant "Homelessness"..........quick as a wink you'd be on the street and your Moggies would be ripping you a new one for getting them into a scrape with a bird what's too big to eat. :tongue-out3: Rick H.

Great posts...again.
Thank you one and all. I hope you chaps don't mind a collective 'Thank you', as opposed to inveedigual ones. They all mean so much to me and give me one hell of a buzz.

Rick. Airframe stresses and strains are all gobble de gook to me. I guess it's the old saying 'If it looks right, it must be something like right'....Perhaps, maybe.

Here's the colour pickies to finish off the job.





























I know I'm repeating myself, but thanks again to all those who supported me throughout both the build and the finished job......and for the truly amazing, humorous and diverse comments posted during the whole saga.

Cheers all and take care.

Ron,

For me it's the final shot with your hand for scale that just demonstrates what an outstanding modeller you are.....

Up until that point so many of the shots could pass for the real size.....

....and yet looking at your hand, if I had to have a guess, that the whole thing is no more than about 12" x 8".

Again, very well done.

Lovely stuff!

Andrew. Good guess. It's 13"x7", and thanks for the nice comments.

Nice one Pete.

Thanks Paul. Always good to read your comments on my stuff.

Sorry Gerry, I meant to comment on your wife's (and now Jen's) observations earlier.
To sort of successfully trick a woman, any woman, if only for a few seconds, is something us blokes can very rarely succeed in accomplishing. So I'm chuffed I seemed to have managed just that......
Chaps, please convey my sincere apalowgees to your respective ladies for the minor deception.

Cheers all,
Ron

Excellent color pics. 570.........Tough choice as to which I like better! I'll just like 'em both and be Happy 'bout it. Good on you Sir! :thumb2:

[grumpa]

Positively AWESOME as usual Ron.

Jim.

[Graeme C.]

Brilliant work Ron, the idea, the composure of the dio, the modelling that has gone into it & the details like the wire & cables poking out of the fuselage all add up to a great build. Definately one to be proud of.

[spanner570]

Rick, Jim and Graeme.
Thanks for your great posts. I'm well happy you approve of the model.

Cheers Gents.

Andrew. Good guess. It's 13"x7", and thanks for the nice comments.

Ron, no problem at all, the comments are well deserved!

As for my 'guess'. I was genuinely curious as to how big it was and so was sad enough to get a 12" ruler out and put my hand against it to get an idea of the size.....
