    Well Guys....
    In mind of Rick's surpassing my Mustang build I thought I'd just put up my trailing effort ....
    A long way to go,and several mistakes to correct!!....

          That is very nice Mr. Smiff! a little flick of gray paint will transform that p into an f. And it looks to me, that you will finish in plenty of time. Since I didn't have the drop tanks to worry about I was able to to move ahead on this build with less things to worry about. Looking forward to seeing this one finished soon. PCO Sir! :thumb2:

                By 'eck Andy you're really on a roll with this. Looking good and almost ready for take off. I didn't notice the "airporce" either.

                        Doesn't look much,but took a while!
                        Next I tackled the Pilot,after spending ages on the Mossie crew,only to see hardly anything of them when closed up,I decided to just do a bare minimum on this guy and shove him in......

                        This canopy is also a "one piece" so no point in making him look any more than "OK". ...
                        Not far from the finish line now !!
