invidia Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Fantastic looking model, not my normal thing but I am very tempted to get one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Hi Alistair, I followed the WIP with great interest and the end result is excellent- you must be very pleased. It inspired me to read the biography of Leonard Cheshire 'No Greater Glory' by Andrew Boyle. A cracking read of an amazing life.🙂 Colin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
