      Chris the nearest I have been in building was as a crew member on 570's sub along with my dear friend
      Only to be asked to leave .

      The main reason Chris is the small size , had a go at those tanks in 1/72 and that was too much .This plane is ok as not tracks !

        It might well be Chris but Matron is lurking ready to pounce at a slight movement,like a cat after a wee birdy.
