    I have to get going with some ballastcasting one of these days. Makes such a tidy and nice fit, especially considering the multipart mess I usually make.

    Thanks Spiros my friend, the tanks needed a touch up of the panel lines and another coat, a bit of surgery done around the cockpit to back date it to FAW 1 !
