Thought that you might like to see some pics of the DH82A I've built for RCModel World. More later or on demand.

It did fly at the North Berks meeting and earned me first place in the Scratch Built catagory. I cannot for the life of me see how a kit built model can be termed "scratch built" but I suppose that's an age thing!

On to last evening's static scale event at Kenley, may I thank those who voted for the Tiger Moth.

Here's one or two pix of the model for those who couldn't get there.

Thanks again guys!

Don,

I cannot believe your details can be so good and accurate, I now believe that you have a shrinking device and just go round shrinking real air planes and claiming the credit :lol:

Good on you Don, you put a lot of effort into your work and it shows.

A big well done once again Don. Looks like Prince Chrles in the office on the video mate. :D

Very nice indeed. :wink:
