Really enjoying this one mate, one of my all time favourites and an a/c which I can never decide is better looking than the Hunter, the guy who flew the RNHF one, Pat Barnes, I am acquainted with says it is a lovely aeroplane and a joy to fly.
I only wish I could find the link he gave me for the cockpit view of his display.
Keep at it Tony it will end up as another of your stunning models.

Now that I am older it seemed nice I have more patience.
Turns out "I don't give a s**t "

Leave the paint like that - realistically scuffed and used, sun and salt-faded!
