Outstanding work there Ray - as always. How did you find building this Airfix kit? I've got it to build one day.

Very tight tolerances Adam, I was rushing and had to use a bit of persuasion to get some later assemblies to stay in place.

With the soft plastic, some of the smaller parts are more fragile. At some point, I lost the lower pitot tube under the nose. I will have to replace it soon.
