discussion Boatmans Super Hornet F18/A- F Build

[boatman]

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.
Richard

THANKS Scottie but not really happy with it but will try an right canopy an the front wheels as its a wheel only about a mm off the ground but i can see it but as it got a metal bar inside dont know if i can do much an i may cause damage as this model is very fragile
cheers sir
