Ps is that the millau viaduct in the back ground, fantastic struture Glynn - Hi Glynn -I hope my contact will give me some news about the pointed radome he thought to be available soon, but if not I will stay with this radome which look rather good after all. - I think if I had followed the notice more closely the things could have been better, I experienced some issue with the matting of the engine nacelle to the wings, notheless it is a very enjoyable and interesting kit to built and finally the result is really nice - The viaduct in the background is built over the river Correze valley on the motorway A89 between Clermon-Ferrand and Brives; The photos are taken from this photospot 5km away from my home as it offers an unobstructed view with the necessary day lighting. This contribute to give my pics almost real life aspect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Deon 41 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) superb work, the finish is really convincing. this must look awesome on the shelf As much as I would like one i suspect the cost of the kit would cause me to have to go and lie down for a bit.... well i was wrong - only 42 quid with postage. I am tempted sorely Edited May 6, 2017 by Deon Link to post Share on other sites
