Make you wonder how much of this was done...jacking up, li...

For now I will concentrate on getting the current model right and then adding to the fleet when that's been done. Take your time Doug, if a job is worth doing ...... I'm just looking forward to the opportunity to add this to my flightline. Shout if you need any more info; Warpaint didn't have a dec...

Thanks for the feedback I will update the model when I get my new laptop up and running the model is in FSDS which I can measure but don't have any good scale drawings to go off I will trawl some photos and use them to scale the model better.
