Tks for that Pete. Looks like the cartoon next to AGRU me thinks :wink:

Yup.. as Garry pointed out, the geodetic bits were in the wings.. the originals of which were still fabric coated :shock: That shot shows the main spar those poor girls had to negotiate very well. She looks very much better than on my last nose inside too :wink: For anyone with the Viking/Valetta model.. you can see that it was not possible for me to take shots and just cut em in as moving around the flightdeck is not a pretty site. However, if you look at the rear view I made, you'll see I put a door in (and everything else you can see) and that the door had a window. Look through the window and you'll see the inside of the cabin pretty much like in Pete's shot. I put that little bit in to show how she is now.. not that any of you will have noticed!! :poke: :lol:
