Now that's rather smashing isn't it and all the more impressive that it's been lovingly assembled from such a classic old kit. That's my kind of modelling! 

Cheers and very well done.. Dave

One of the 'must haves' for my collection but in the 'couldn't face the hassle' building department. Wonder what the Dora Wings version will be like when, or if, it appears

Beautiful build of a beautiful aircraft. Congrats, Sir.

I'm interested in all aircraft with a Cranfield connection, however tenuous the connection might be. In this case the Chief Engineer on the FD2 project was Robert Lickley, who had been the first Professor of Aircraft Design at Cranfield.

I digress... thanks for sharing this cracking piece of modelling, 

P.
