That's a super rendition of XH897: you're far braver than I for tackling that colour scheme. Please can you expand a bit on what you did with the stall warners? I've (briefly) read Alley Cat's instructions but a word from someone who's been there would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Stever, I hope this helps. I've not seen Alley Cat's instructions, as I just bought the vortex genny set at Telford. For the stall warner, I just cut off the moulded lumps, drilled 5 small holes, bent some fine gauge wire for the guards (should have been finer, but I thought that fuse wire would not be robust enough in the long term), and used a straight piece for the vane.

Regards

Tim

Very nice, looks stunning in that scheme, is this the one at Duxford?

Hi, gazza, yes it is, but I built it as I saw it as a kid at a Leuchars Air Day. Duxford simplified the scheme slightly when they repainted it, but there are some good shots on the Internet of it on arrival and soon after.
