That looks really good Chris. :thumbsup:

If my Dad was still alive I'd ask him if he ran into any of them during the Habbaniya Siege.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Very nice build.
But, Kit, at Habbaniya I'd have expected to see it under british markings. they were flying anything they could get their hands on, from what I have read! ;D
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Dead right, and even some they didn't have......

My Dad told the tail that they built a whole Vickers Valentia from spare parts found in the hangars at Habbaniya, and then got into trouble for not giving it a serial no., not for building it in the first place  ;D
