Lovely work.

 

Great detail on the stores and a most convincing overall colour scheme.

 

Where did you get the clear rod for the landing sequence and how did you bend it?

Hi Michael

 

I got the clear acrylic rod off eBay. For shaping it, I put it in an oven, heated it up, and bent it over a broom handle. 

Cheers.

Ian, That IS the way to do it. 

Just lovely.

 

(I remember having a good look around one of these in basic training

at Halton all of 40 years ago. Built like a brick outhouse. I also seem to

remember it had four hydraulic systems!* The Navs' cockpit was like a coalshed!)

 

* Though one was probably the blowdown system.
