    Well,she's finally finished
    It certainly won't win any awards but I have had a lot of fun building her and apart from the cruddy canopy,I am pretty happy with the end result.

    looks pretty good to me tony despite the canopy, though you'll need to post the regulation six pictures here's a link

    have a look at the pdf in Waynes post and it'll set you right.

    Now common Tony mate, modesty don't become you. It's a fine looking machine and you're the winner cause you had fun. Love the camo too and Karl's right about the pics so I hope it's sunny for you tomorrow.

    Looks good to me, and the canopy doesn't look that bad. I think with a bit more work, it'll polish out totally.

    Nice work Tony. Didn't know that camouflage was extending to the underside of the fuselage. Interesting...

    Tony, that camo is world class and a interesting look to it. Masking must of been a pain. Don't be your own worst critic, it's great!
