Lovely looking engine. Pilot fits nicely. You're doing a grand job but all those wires give me the shivers

Good evening @boatman, loving the build. Watching with interest as I've just finished this kit myself. I'll be honest this is my favourite aircraft from being a child and I was really looking forward too the build, however I didn't enjoy it one bit. I don't know if it was due to it being a modern Jet and my first build of one as I've only ever done WW2 up to now, or just the manner of the build?! So I feel your pain in parts

I purchased mine from a model show, I feared there may well be parts missing and according to my instructions there was, but. For me it only appeared to be the pilot. However watching this build I notice the engine and mention of a trolley, is this part of the kit or extra purchases?

I see what you mean Chris. The engine is too nice to hide inside the model, so good that you have decided to display it.

You’re inspiring me in having a go at lighting up a model, could I ask where you get your electric supplies from please?
