Hmmmm..... I do seem to recall having my tractor towed behind this one Roy. Excellent build - you've done her justice. Can you lock the tail wheel now shipmate and I'll clear off!!

That's a cracker Don. You've done the old frame justice. I have fond memories of standing in the jet wash of the Seahawk, parked at ground idle, warming the cockles through the cold winter months. Seeing this caused a flash back. Y aye, Alan

Boa noite Vitor, Acabamento verdadeiramente surpreendente. Excelentes detalhes. Sds, Alan

Don, Just simply fantastic. Very many thanks for the time, effort, humour and tips included along the way. Enthralling. All the best, Alan

A little belated but BZ on the build shipmate. Y Aye, Alan

Hi Don, Been following you along the path with this build. Allow me to echo the countless other comments - simply amazing work. We're 4866.69 nautical miles away from home which is where, in amongst the rest of our stored worldly belongings, sits an as new in the box 1.48 Lanc such as this. Another pre - relocation ebay acquisition and the main reason for me picking up on your thread. I used to log on to check the UK news but that was in the old days. Now it's to view your latest post and to bring the significant other half up to speed with the build. The emotions experienced this end have run full spectrum from shock horror at your initial idea, through 'dear god he's actually done it' upon viewing your first photo's of the precision carved fuselage. This was followed by a couple of day's of 'this is intriguing' which was trailed by a low point when you demonstrated the bulged wheel method (I paid 15 quid for a set). Then we entered the 'where did he learn that?' phase which was only to be succeeded by 'love, come and have a look at this!. All of this has led to today --- completely inspired. I usually explain to folks when asked that I miss the seasons and an open fire place. That's also now changed. Brazil is a nice place but my modelling tools and stock are in storage in Blightey. (except the paints which are in a different storage in Blightey - the caravan (Couldn't store them as flams but couldn't bear to part with years of hoarding and paint maintenance either)). I will be reunited with them at some stage but the anticipation of the day is heigthened due to this project. Thoroughly enjoying following your progress and really, really looking forward to the end result. Keep it up Don and cheers from this side of the pond. Alan
