    Several frustrating hours since last posting spent temporarily fitting most but not all wing wires, so much fun, not, but progress !

    Those wires do look good, but you say they have taken quite some hours to get to fit? I just got some for the 1/48 tiger moth for a friend, and they do look rather nice.

    Thanks Erik, and the kit struts, they should be much easier to work with in 1/48th !

    Nice to see you 'strutting' your stuff Allan. Great results, especially with the 1/72nd scale.

    Thanks George, I now know why some modelers don't like 1/72, but I still do !
