You've done a cracking job on it

I'm sure you'll get it fixed in no time. Thoroughly enjoying making mine and hoping to get another before the end of the year.

corrected the nose wheel

graham22 · Post by **graham22** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 11:44 am

A couple more corrections - must read the instructions better

(or get new glasses)
1. Under nose should be HU163 - Corrected

2. Air intake surrounds should be black - Corrected

3. Tail Flash too big - i've overpainted it to reduce it's height - it's still too far back but i'll live with it

I think it's finished (again) but who knows............
