Sorry Brian, only just spotted this.
It didn't even make it out of the box for the Telford show, so the only place it has been seen is here.
I might even buy another one if I see it dirt cheap, and do the gun version.

I was thinking of buying a couple of these to make both versions (someday, maybe, perhaps) until I got into this build you put together. I thought you did a really good job on a badly engineered kit.
By far the worst, an unfixable element in it is the extended hump in the engine nacelle where it joins the fuselage, but I also duly noted some of the gaps in the wings, the errors in the nose bay, and the inaccurate nose wheel strut. Still, except for the ancient Hawk kit it's the only game in town, other than Collectaire (sp?) which I would recommend to no one.
The one thing that surprised me in your build, and this is not a criticism, was the tint of the blue paint in the pictures. I've always understood this dark navy blue to be almost black, or at least much darker.
Anyway, I enjoyed the build and thought that the final product looked good given what you had to work with. The pictures of the real thing were really impressive too.
If you build another one, I'll definitely follow along!
