Office looks like a great place to work mate very nicely done.
That's looking fab Chris!
HI ALL here are some more update pics of that hornet build an boy i thought the tomcat was a bugger to build an fit well this hornet as taken the bloomin top title for bad fittin Aaaarrgggccc god IM NOT enjoin this build one bit as so far nothing has fitted oh dear an im here just taken off the maskin tape to show that nice red 
An the fit was so bad as when i treid to dryfit the top fusalarge to the bottom fusalarge there was a horrendous gap an i had to bend the top part with the office glueded in to try an bend it to fit an even usein big spring clamps it was a big job oh boy an here the gap can be seen in both pics 
AN next a shot of the office fitted to the upper fusalarge an this is what i had to bend an it took some doin an all the cockpit vid screens lights are now fitted just a small matter of wireing them up to a mini eletric plug 
an here THE fusealarge is finally glued in place after a lot of fillin the swear box will soon need a skip if any worse a fit lol
an also now starting to fit the main under cart an ready to wire up the white landing lights

Even with the fit problems, you are still making a fine job of it.
Despite the fit issues Chris, this is looking very sharp, love that crisp red spine
Wow looks great Chris.Lovely vibrant red spine.Swear box hehe.You should have heard me when i was helping a friend at our club meeting.We worked on a Dragon halftrack, Dragon instructions are very vague and i ended up putting tracks on wrong.Loads of industrial language that rhymes with dit and Clucking bell!!!!!.
