1/144 scale. You must have good eyes Garry!
I see they copied your livery.

Good one Garry :thumbsup:

What's the good lady going to say when she realises you've filled the living room with model aeroplanes :worried:

Well, she make necklaces and keeps getting stuff for that, so the parcel side is clear. As for the space, I could always remove a small portion of her shoe collection :worried: and that would give me enough space for the rest of eternity. :thumbsup:

Ah yes.. women and shoes :lol: Why is it that blokes manage with 2 pairs of shoes (usually a black pair and a brown pair) yet women have to have different styles in multiple colours to go with their wardrobe? :lol:

Don't forget the matching handbags to go with those shoes. :rant:

Anyway the garage is filling up with RC planes now so I'd better be quiet. :hide:

PS Nice model Garry. :)

I've got two pairs which have one black and one brown shoe each. It's funny because I don't remember buying them :worried:

In a rare occurrence...mark this for posterity...I'm going back on topic :-O.

There are a couple of glaring errors visible on the pic of the parts in the box.

The decals are the wrong colour...a usual error nowadays and the letting has reverse italic on the starboard instead of normal

The plastic seems to show they have used the fin/rudder off their DC 7C model

Still, nothing that can't be easily sorted :)
