I now remember I planned to add support posts on either side of the ramp, which would be a nicer solution than a perspex stand. I'll see if I can make a couple of convincing hydraulic cylinders in brass rod.


The A400M has a couple of those, I can't find any pics of the prop Belfast that shows any, but it'd be a sensible upgrade with all the other work you've done.
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 Harro, makes me want to do the same with my 1/72 Belfast ---  :wacko:
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll use those as a template.
