Joe, this one is a joy to build.

One thing strikes me with the kit is, all the parts for the interior where one the same sprue so there was no rummaging in the box for different sprues. I would imagine therefor the engine will be the same

I'm trying my best!

Just now got caught up with this fantastic project. Everything is looking great, Ian. Just how big is this bad boy? I'd imagine it takes up some space on the workbench. Keep it coming, this is cool!

Yeah I would highly recommend it Jed

Right hopefully that is the weird bit over with, now walk away until dry

There is tonnes to go in the wings and then it's all got to be painted as a lot of it will be on show

I'm trying my best!
