Thanks Jurasikfrank, your work is also inspiring....in fact due to this site and its input, I've got that old got to be building something feeling.

Thanks for that link.....I'm in the UK...but I used your recommendation to find this:

It looks almost the same (heres a screen grab....cause the real link will disappear):

Its a pretty good price.

I've made a cockpit window....still to cut out the frames...I will post progress tomorrow night
