I wanted something a bit different that you don't see everyday but it had to be a warbird (of course). Won't be a speed demon so all I'll be able to do is climb up, go into a steep dive and drop my one bomb on everyone else, I guess.

Since the Hurricane will be about the same speed, I'll fly cover Miller too although I think he's even slower than we are

Thinking about the bomb rack, guns, antenna wire for a start.

Got to say that CY Models makes a decent kit (and, no, Sandy, they definitely have absolutely no affiliation with ESM)

She's stuck in immigration.... Angry

Yup.

Figuring out all the bits and pieces. Fit is very good and the hardware package is all useable. Nice!

Next, start hinging (which I just love Sad

).

Yep, Mike. The dive brakes will be operational.

Easily the nicest looking model on their site Steve! Going to be nice to see it in the air. Have to say though I am not a fan much else on there. Not sure how they did such a nice job on this one and the rest look so unappealing Huh
