Nice one Peter I've built this kit and it's a good one. Glad to have you onboard.

This is still the go to kit for a 1/48 EEL. Good detail, builds well and is pretty accurate. By all accounts the new kit from Sword, (which I will be getting soon), Is very close to being as good. 
I will be getting another one of these in the near future ....I look forward to seeing your build Peter.

Nice choice Peter. That PE looks very nice and will add a lot of extra detail to your build.

Made a start on the seat and with the PE probably the most complicated seat belts I have done for a bit[ATTACH]285006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]285007[/ATTACH]

Nice job with the seat Peter.

Great job Peter, that seat looks awesome. No fuselage fit issues for the 1/48 version I presume?
