I haven't been on much recently Allan, so catching up has been brilliant - this is looking fantastic - such progress since I last looked - the paint and decals are really sharp!

It does look rather nice doesn't it Paul? Reminds me of some very fond childhood memories watching the Blues practice in these planes at the Sanford NAS way back when... I'll be anxiously watching for the reveal on this bad boy for sure...

Thanks for your comments Paul and Louis, I need to add some more Future next.

I will call this one finished although I'm not entirely happy with the way it sits, too low at the rear or too high at the front, the nose leg could be shortened, later !
