    The new Airfix kits are really nice. Looking forward to seeing your completed model with all the modifications.

    Hey Allan, good to see ya. Love the mod for the straight horizontal stabs. Really a wonder why there isn't an option or choice for either design offered in the newer kits. Seems like everything is towards the V-design tail in the kits in all the scales. Correct me if I am wrong if any current kit in any scale has the straight tail in the kit. I just can't recall any.

    Thanks Chuck, it has two options, why not a third ! ------ High Planes would have straight tailed versions !

    Looks amazing already, taking its shape gradually, Allan.
    Seatbelts look great, canopy too!
