Definitely not one from the 'top drawer' but looks quite imposing in the cabinet (as long as you don't look too closely). My thanks taking the time to look and/or comment, and as ever all criticism, comments and questions are welcome.

One of the best shapes in the sky, and the Gray Ghost scheme its best dressing. Great looking model.

Is the Academy kit a C model out of the box? Just wondering.

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Alan it's a bit of a 'curates egg' this is the very early 'C' boxing, but to be honest it bares far more resemblance to the 'A'. No bulged gear doors, original wheels etc. The only 'hat tip' to the 'C' is the de-feathered exhausts, which has to be said are very good indeed.
