nice landing - if it wasn't for the size of the fence in the background, you'd never know - great camera work keeping her in view all the time - JLT getting more exposure !

Nice one peoples is always nice to share ones creation. flying the model is very pleaseing as it is built around the real aeroplane with a good history  behind it. at present i am building a mk1 hawker hurricane with a 61 inch wingspan. sea hurricane 7L will be its colours. i worked at duxford years ago on 7L as a volunteer worker and sprayed everything on the real aeroplane apart from the green and grey camoflage.

this is me at the tail green overalls when we were moving her from her anex building into main hangar to fit her main wings. i didnt see her much after this as i went ill....i have recently visited her at old warden when i did a r/c flying weekend there.
