I’m sure I can do a better job of the aerials.

Well that’s the aerials done.

Those aerials look much better now Ian, nice work

[Guest]

Those must have been fiddly

[papa 695]

I’ve finally found the pointy end and finished the decals, also added some more aerials.

Looking good Ian. Nice to see the deck transfers sorted out as well.
