WOW!!!!!
Are you sure that's 1\72 because that is stunning and I hope to do another starter kit build next year.

Hi Jim,
You must be really pleased with the results, all those decals and they look perfect!
That interior set really boosted the cockpit and you made a lovely neat job with it.....all round, Very nice indeed :thumb2:

Beautifully done Jim. As neat and clean as usual. The way you handled the decals was masterful.

Jim,
As the others have said a great result and worthy of a bigger scale, you must be happy with that.

Missed this one too, sorry Jim.

Top job Sir and I really love how the orange racing stripes came out. Super clean silver base coat and a real credit to your building skills!!!

Thanks guys. One day I'll get round to a simple runway base for it. Might even cheat and buy one of those from Coastal Kits. They are usually at Telford Show in November.

It's a :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2: from me, as has been said it certainly doesn't look like a 1/72 with all that superb detail
Good for you Jim .

It's a lovely build Jim packed with detail in a little 1/72 kit.

I can just imagine a squadron of them parked at Butterworth Penang with their smoky start ups.

Cheers,
Richard
