Nice work Des, a little clean for my taste but a sweet build.
Good to know that Roden are improving things too
TY for sharing

Great looking model Des, as mentioned on the "Drome". I like it a lot. It looks as if you relocated the positioning of the rear hand grips. Nicely done.

Well done! I followed the build on the Drome and must say I like your style.

Thank you for all the positive comments, they are most appreciated.
MARK.
Relocating the rear hand grips is quite simple, I just drilled 4 small holes then cut between them, removed the offending hand grips and after a little bit of trimming on the fuselage I repositioned them. Only took a small amount of filler and the job was done. The mistake on Roden's part was very obvious if they were left as they were so the little bit of effort required to rectify the error is well worth it.

I like it. The pictures look a little bit dark, so it is hard for my old eyes to pick out details. I haven't picked up this kit yet, but now I think I should, Thanks for sharing.
