Probably the largest 'under a tenner' kit that will appear here, nice choice Ian.

Got the cockpit painted as per the instructions. It's lacking colour, think I may take a look at some pictures of the cockpit to see if I can spice it up a little

Are you a mind reader Monica ? Or is it just that I'm a man.

To be honest I'm going for the blue fin scheme which just happens to be No 15 ha ha.

[monica]

just a mind reader lol,

and to me that would be the better of them the blue fin scheme,

look forward to next update,
