Amazing job. That is such a beautiful aircraft. I built the old Classic Airframes one years ago. It turned out okay, especially when I was able to replicate the one flown by James Hoare when he was assigned to the HMS Rodney flying those beautiful machines from that beautiful battleship. Later on in the war he moved over to the carriers and flew Fulmars, thus the cover picture. I remember him reminiscing how each time the battleship was firing its 16 inch guns he was catapulted off the ship as the vibrations frequently damaged the planes.  The kit was a pleasure to see at the end but not a pleasure to build. It was a lot of work correcting the kit before building it. Mine was on wheels but seeing your work I am inspired to redo it with the Airfix kit and this time stage it on a small water diorama instead of wheels. Thanks again for a great inspiration.
