This has always been high on my wish list so here is my version. Took around 3 years to complete. The panel lines and paint work were done by my son - all airbrushed Spectrum paint - lovely job.

The Western desert colour scheme is from information supplied by the RAF Museum at Hendon - thank you.

Roundels and markings by Precision Markings

Stalled on approach to land during maiden flight - not happy about the wing halves having equal angles of attack and believe this was the major factor in its failure to fly well- see photos.

Took one year to carefully rebuild - second maiden flight exact repeat of the first one. Model totally written off. Giving up - for now.
