I very much doubt that's the reason Chris - it's an excellent build - superb stuff.

Sorry to hear that you damaged the decal Chris. I am sure it will look fine in the end.
Thats very impressive Chris, it certainly makes a statement.
HI Strenko yes the snakes head decal did come out well im pleased to say as jen helped me by holding the plane on its side so i could just place the snakes head in place on the tail an i was worryied it might half but it was ok thank goodness

Brilliant job Chris, well done mate.
It sure is a brut of a kit and looks like you have it beaten.
Very eye catching.
Very eye catching.
HI Ian yes it was a brute of a kit for fit wise an near lost my temper with it several times as parts just did not line up but wiith a lot of patiecnt an armed with a file an dremel diamon cutter i made the parts fit but i would not recommend this kit to a begginer an even though it nearly built ive still got a big box of parts that trumpy have supplyied so to have different vershion of missles an such but lookin back on this build it has to me been a heck of a challange but i suppoce i love them as i must admit i would have been bored with it if it had just fell togeather so it looks like im me own worst enamey lol
MR B
That's come out very nicely Chris. It's very eye-catching in that scheme, well worth the hard work even if it was a bit of a pest to build. Treat yourself to an easier kit next

HI JOE yes it was a proper bugger to build but kept my cool after nr losein it when parts dint fit an how do yu know whats an easy kit eh? but im thinkin of doin the reconacscent tornonado in 1/32 by trumpy if they do
One as yes ive learnt my lesson with trumpy kits but i must admit they give a lot in the kits an plenty for me to get to work so in jan new yr as jen is given me money for xmas preissie i hope to end up in Hannants model warhouse where there are hundreds of kits for me to chose one from an they let me open the kit so i can look through it to see whats what an if i like the kit at all AN THANKS FOR YOUR NICE COMMENTS
CHEERS

HI Richard yes i try my best when kit biulding an as for skills thank you very much sir but its taken me a lifetime to aqiure them an you down in clackton on sea well in my opinion why dont you take a drive up to Hannants at oulton broad nr lowesrtoft as yes its a big wherehouse stuffed full of hundreds if not thounds of kits an i normaly spend 3 hrs walking up an down the rows an they near reach to the roof packed full of kits but you must give your wallet to your missus LOL as thats what i do so i dont go crazy grabbin kit after kit as its easy to do but i just love to look at the kits as there are a lot ive never seen before but i only hope they will let me in as before covid you just had to sign the book to say you are in the wherehouse an then sign out when you come out for saftey reasons but i will go an see what they say or jen can ring them up as i look on it as a day out an whats next on the bench ? well i rather fancy a big 1,32 recoacene tornado sorry spelt wrong there by trumpy as they make plenty of opinonal parts for the kit an big enough to make hatches to work an full engines in the kit as i dont like the kit where you get just the front an back of the engines so thats my take on hannants very good wished i lived nearer but never mind on that though but now goin to put the finishin touches to that hornet an light her up an take some pics for you guys to see but she is nr as big as the tomcat so will need to push the cat over to one side to get the hornet in place an then have them both lit up should look good hopefully
ATB Sir

A Tornado sounds good Chris.
Hi Chris.
Hannants is a fair poke from Clacton plus i dont drive.My wife does but way too far for her to drive.It would be way to tempting for me seeing all the mountains of kits etc.I do pre order stuff to pick up at Telford show from them.I should take a photo and show everyone all the stuff they bring on pre order.Huge boxes labelled alphabetically for folk to pick kits up.Waiting to see Hornet all lit up.Tornado sounds great as i like them.
ATB to you both.
