Hi!

It's an iconic aircraft, I fully understand why you have chosen it.

I built the F.6 version recently and there are some tricky parts where you have to make use of your modelling skills :D
But it's worth it - the aircraft is fantastic.

Good Luck!
:cheers2:

Sorry for the lack of updates, started new job and things have been hectic to say the least (hence missing the end of the in the navy build as well) hope to get some updates posted this weekend now that things are a bit more settled.
