That looks surprisingly right  ;D  :thumbsup:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

No, I know what you mean  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Do someone remember the matchbox model build contest in the seventies ?
I was the cup winner in my town at 1977,  with that wellington kit  :thumbsup: 

Any photos of your winning build?  ;D  :thumbsup:

I was 11 years old , very deep into scale modelling, but the only camera I used at that time were a polaroid or a pocket cam ... unfortunately my big collection, hidden in  parents home, was lost complete 20 years ago  :banghead:
It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep . Like a Jeep, but for gentlemen.

YES!   Very definitely YES!  That is an inspired piece of whiffery.     Just the thing to be seen flying from bases at Milford Haven  and Loch Indaal in 1945
