That's awesome ! I remember a birthday party as a kid, and this other kid bought my friend a Matchbox kit....as he opened it, the first kid ( the giver ) grabbed it off him and yelled " see !? You don't even need paint !"

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! :)

That's new to me, and apart from the business with the props that's ASTOUNDING work!  :o

Excellent skills.

That's the one that got me going. Fantastic. I've gone down a different route as the last thing I want to do is plagiarise someone else's work.
