Re: Happy Birthday decapod(48) today

Re: Leif Harding

Totally stunned! He helped me find my way when I stared with FS modelling and was the hub of the design groups over at britsm.

Re: Mr Gausden has been busy

VC and 2d panel will be modelled on lots of detailed photos from inside the cockpit of BRWU - I'll post screenshots once I have it all working.
