    This will be a great model, Alan (@kalamazoo). I have always thought that the Wirraway was a cool looking plane. I built the old Airfix Wirraway several years ago, but this one should be much better.

    Thanks my friends, John, Spiros, Lis and George, it's been a while, a bit of filling and painting with a change of colour in the cockpit.

    The new color is nice, as is the usage of sprue glue, my friend @kalamazoo!

    Nice work done, Allan @kalamazoo
    Is the sprue glue comparable with LqS, (Liquified Styrene).

    Thanks my friends, Spiros and John, the name is more suited to the way I do it, but same thing.

    Thanks for sharing, Allan @kalamazoo
    So basically any kind of thinner like turpentine or acetone will do the trick to soften the sprue.

    John, not sure about acetone and turps may take too long to dry, experiment and see !

    @kalamazoo, thanks, I will just give it a try, which is always the best way to learn.
