You could try sitting outside the gates with a sad expression and a bit of cardboard with 'Modelling hobby to support. Please help' scrawled on it.

I can't do a sprue shot as I'm already building mine, but here are the main airframe bits - I'll get my camera brain engaged later.

They all say that...

OK, some quick pics for tonight including the moulded side wall detail - there's more stuff on the sprues to add.

Single piece lower cowl and the carb intake.

And a shot of the nose showing the panel and faster detail. Now I like this level of detail, it takes primer and allows me to polish it down with Scotchbrite to get a smooth surface for paint, something I do with all my aircraft models.

That's it for now, supper's ready!
