No, you haven't over posted. With models of this calibre, you can never have too many photos.

My particular favourites are the Sioux, the Alouette, the F3F and the Boeing 707. I love the looks of a 707 in a retro colour scheme like this and you have got it looking just right. :thumbsup:

More please! :D

Fantastic builds there, and no overposting

One question though, did the French have some early Aquilons with De Havilland type canopies, I had always thought that they had sliding type canopies?

Thanks so much everyone for the kind words and encouragement. Long way yet for me and many things to learn still.

Colin -I dont know if you remember shipping that Seafire conversion set to Malaysia but i pre ordered it when it was released. Its an excellent set and a pleasure to work on. Anyway hope my build lives up to it!

Graeme - re. the Aquilon yes the early versions were literally license assembled Venoms and had the clamshell canopy as i modelled it. The later ones with US radar had the sliding canopy. IIRC the early ones were the Aquilon 20 and i found the colour scheme in the Warpaint book on the Venom. Typing this from my palmtop - have the refrences in my laptop will post some info when i get my hands on it.
