...and add an addition to the house?

I could use one. Im out of places to put my builds but I don't see myself stopping any time soon. A cool work station would be sweet as well. In my next life.

Cheers! and thanks to all who commented in the WIP, apologies for not keeping it updated - I'll try better next time!

Yeah I'm sure I can take some more - leave it with me.

It's a nice kit, although with a couple of niggles. I left it clean partly because I'm crap at weathering aircraft, and partly as it was built as a tribute to a fellow modeller who passed recently, who always photo'd his aircraft in front of a blue background, and left them clean.

Thanks! He was a really nice chap actually, called John Eaton, I've known him on various forums for years - a very good scale and RC modeller.

A fine tribute, and there's nothing wrong with a "clean" build—all aircraft were, at least at one time.

Thanks - I appreciate it!

That's very true - it's all down to personal taste really.

I like clean builds. Often people seem to go overboard on weathering.

Yeah I agree - it's fine if someone really knows what they're doing with weathering, but a lot of people spoil a nice build with some poor weathering - ask me how I know LOL!

I laugh at some of my earlier attempts! Hmmm… wonder if I'll laugh at my current attempts in the future.

You build looks great.
