Looking mighty fine Andy. Pilot looks very detailed, is there a passenger for that rocking chair in the back too?

Thanks Andy...... The pilot is easily the best detailed 1/48 figure that I've had in my sticky little mitts :thumb2:, I've been scouring the net for a back seat passenger, but as yet not found one,and another of the same is just not going to happen!;)
Looking good Andy. Plenty of details there to look at. Looks like your nicked :thumb2:
Ha!! Yep,I certainly am Tim.... it's a top quality kit,both in details and fit:cool:
Flying along Andy
Very droll Mick :tears-of-joy:,and thanks :thumb2:
 
Off to a fine start Andy. Looks a nicely detailed kit. Pilot seems to fit nicely and looks the part.
As for dinner - looks yummy :smiling:
