Dr Evil Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Dunno if you've seen this? Passed me by until a couple of days ago. http://www.scalewarship.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=88_92&product_id=228 Not the cheapest but it's as nice as their Wessex set and will save tonnes of space.

PMC Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Loving this GB and really like the progress on your build. How are you getting on? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Paul, Closed the fuselage but there was a gap which I filled and need to sanded down. But due to a new job I make some pretty long days and didn't found some time to do it! Greetings Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 That interior is amazing, and there's enough colour and contrast that it should be pretty visible through the windows and doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
