Off to a good start Lee :thumb2:

Geoff.

Yes it’s is. I think this going to be a fun build. Thanks for stopping by

[Lee Drennen]

Yep, you're up and running now Lee :smiling3:
....... Looking forward to seeing it develop

Thanks Mr. Smiffy. no way near the Office details like yours thought about buying a instrument panel for it but you would never see it. Like Jakko said one time why bother in this scale when you have a closed Canopy like mine will.

Got to love an Avenger, I will follow along.

Have seat Scottie. Never built one in any scale before this one so expect some bumps in the road.

Andy thanks for the complement and stopping by. Yes I know I wear many hats but I always liked the “Wingy” things I built several growing up and I got hooked.

Thanks Colin but don’t understand why 1/72 is called the Gentleman Scale.
