Great stuff Nigel. Unbelievable to say, but you are getting even better with every build. Hat's truly off...

Just a small note, Nigel, those strakes on top of the fuselage are, like their cousins on wings, vortex generators, used to keep the airflow attached a bit longer at high AoA (also to decrease the pressure slightly, but they come with a drag penalty) . Which is a good thing for this bird, as engines rotate obviously and you have huge AoA during take off and landing. This is your manual for Eduard's PE? http://www.eduard.com/store/out/media/73482.pdf If so, replacement generators are brilliant.

That thing really is a beautiful piece of inovative and imaginative engineering. Great job on replicating all that, Nigel.

Interior cables are a cherry on top, no question about it...

I can hardly imagine how this could look any better...

That's some proper engineering, Nigel, reaching new heights every day. Mindblowing... I'm very sorry for my lack of comments recently, lots of stuff to do and sadly no time for modelling since october. Britmodellers, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Serbia, enjoy your holidays and all the best for you, your famillies and your friends!

Simply stunning...

Well, that's great news Nigel, well deserved... In other news - nothing new. Osprey - it's just another mouthwatering model... PS For your next Airfix article, you should definitely do a 4-page special on how to make fire extinguishers that regularly look 3 times bigger...

Is this about Airfix Magazine true?

It's always inspiring to see how practical your enginnering skills are, Nigel...

Surgical cuts, Nigel...

Glorious sunlight for a glorious looking model...

That thing looks so strange, but in a greatest way possible...

How I love those german nose letters...

That's. So. Awesome!
