I remember , I'm thinking of doing the same I got some good pics on Saturday of the bomb bay and wheel housings and I have loads of stuff left over from other kits to do the pipe work

There are not a lot of decals. There are hundreds of the little buggers. I remember my one!

Yours is looking great and I look forwards to seeing the end result.

Are you as mad as I am and considering the FAW 1 conversion as well...?
