    The Beaufighter is a really elegant-looking plane, Allan (@kalamazoo), and you have captured the look perfectly. Looking forward to the last of the parts going together.

    Very nice! I like the holdfast for the antenna while the glue sets. I do not recall having seen this method before. I usually make mine with Uschi's elastic wire and superglue, and that does the trick for me, but I have made a mental note of this method too!

    Great! Like our friend Eric @airbum, I made a mental note of the antenna holdfast too!

    The simplest ideas are the best, Allan (@kalamazoo). I don't do a lot of antenna wires because my method, which involves a voodoo chant and a lot of super glue, has variable results.
