Its about time you got her finished.
Can't wait to see it in the flesh, and err sit in it, at some point.

Nigel-
As others have said, it looks great.
That is the first one of these kits I've seen completed.
Good lord, it's big! Looks like it won't even fit through the door in the background...in level flight, that is .

Thanks everyone
Yep, it is indeed a beast of a kit!
Anything else I build now will just seem tiny after this!!
Couple of photos with the cowling panels off.
