Also remember the Ansett ones had Wright R-1820s (shorter cowls) instead of the P&W R-1830s (longer cowls) :)

Yes, but there are a lot of sheets in work...

Only so many hours in the day I am afraid.

That wouldn't be Games World by any chance, would it?

Hey Wally

First of all - outstanding work - as usual!

Is this the Airfix kit? If so, how do you find the panel lines - are they pretty deep/big? I'm considering to half fill them in on the Airfix kit - not sure.

Cheers

Adam
