    Cool Cat markings on this one. I don't think that I have ever seen one like this.

    That's a nice one Allan. Like Ian I remember this one from various airshows. Pictures in those days old school. I'm sure I've taken some, but the albums must be packed in boxes in my storage since our last housemove...

    I moved the canopy frame slightly, tacked the cockpit into one fuselage half then joined both together, clamped the undercarriage bay in place and glued it to the other side fuselage.
