Hi Lance, it may be a great kit from Wingnut Wings but you made it in to the exceptional model shown here. I love your subtle weathering and detailing. Fantastic effort. cheers Michael

Incredible build Uncle Lance - So which WNW kit do you want for your birthday? We need to keep these articles coming, sensational as always. Too many wings for me. You're twice the modeller I am.

Matt,
Thanks for the encouraging comments, methinks you might be somewhat blinded by the "family ties"!
As for being "twice the modeller" I don't agree; having seen several of your recent Builds up close and visiting your "Caves" on several happy occasions over the years I believe the only way I surpass your work is in preferring subjects with multiple flying surfaces and more "wood and wire" then yours!!
Cheers,
Uncle L.
