Thank you all for the kind replies - I have not been on while having tests on my vision - I am suffering from ocular migraines caused by eye strain from the wrong glasses and too much computer usage, I have got a new glass prescription to pick up next week for Two new sets of glasses, in the mean time - its less comp use and regular paracetamol. OC.

Hi folks, before you think "yippy an update" no such luck for now, I have picked up a strange eye condition, that led me last evening to call the out of hours medical people for advice, For the last week (When it started) I am getting a kaleidoscope type anomaly happing in my vision even with my eyes closed, they last for a few minutes than shrink in size before vanishing - its happened to me about Four times now with a gap of a few days when I was fine. My vision needs glasses but I have not had me eyes tested in a while. The phone call I did - I was asked many questions to narrow down the cause - and they cut out anything needing hospital action - but advised me to see and optician for an eye test. It doesn't rain - it pours with my model building lol. OC.

Hey Alen, thats turned out really nice - you have to take into account the problems you had with the kit, and then the scale - you have built a faithfull rendition of the the old bird - she looks just like an "Argy" yep I have seen a few at a few airfields over here. OC.
-
Turned out well I think, staining is not that easy to do and get right. OC.
-
Another excellent kit Alan - blimey you are keeping yourself busy mate. OC.
-
Sounds like a plan mate. OC.
-
Superb level of detail on that Alan, think you are right about using Grey and not Black - abit like what we are recommended about subs, a good shade I have used for this is Nato Black as its a Dark Grey shade. OC.
-
Im in for this one as well mate - I will get my seat and nibbles - looking forward to this one. OC.
-
I too used to have issues with detailing the props - with me it was getting a nice straight line at the tip, so I hear your pain mate. OC.
-
Thats Great work Alan, I remember bashing around with plastic plane kits in this scale and doing horrible jobs, love how you are turning this kit around mate. OC.
-
Yep I think so, Edgehill was really close to my grans cottage just a few miles, even closer than the other battle I mentioned above, love all stuff ECW. OC.
-
Thank you kindly for those kind comments, You should dig your mossy kit out and start a build log - we will follow with mutch interest. OC.
-
That is looking really nice Alan - its never easy when a kit is not very foregiving - its looking really smart. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Alan, the build was based on memories from chats with my late farther who used to be an ERK in the RAF-FAAM and saw this kind of scene him self a good few times, in the dio that was him on the ladders at the rear of the engine extrusion, working on the inward flaps. This was him (circled) OC.
