    Yes. Of all the things I have lost in my life, it's my mind I miss the most.
    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

              AN Cheers John lets hope so as i could not belive it to find another new kit an one what would take a motor straight away as to fit the one i did i was shattered with all the fileing an sanding down to get it to fit but i was afraid in case i took off too much then id be back to rebuilding it an pleased you like the slideing door yes ive done this in all my choppers that fit on the ships as im gonna fit a weak white led in the cabin an where the the main door is an with crew figures inside the chopper should look good hopefully hope you an christine are both well

                Chris it's your model, so however you want to make it, or alter it, is your decision, and more power to you. Purists be buggered :smiling:

                      It's certainly going well - don't worry about having a spare kit, they're always useful!
                      Can't wait to pop up and see her on the pond!

                              Just had a catch-up. That really is some staggering work on display. Very well done indeed.
