Well, what can I say that has not been said earlier... You are turning a kit into a museum exhibit of the first order and it is a credit to your patience and skills. Looking forward to more.
Mike.

Thx Mike :smiling3:

As Chairman of the TBC I can say that he would definitely qualify as a full and valued member.

Very neat, organised work Brian. You must be very pleased with the way this is shaping up.

Certainly a lot of time needed to get that amount of fiddly detail. Looking great.
