Thanks Ronnie,

I'll re-check the spinner and cockpit for accuracy (I know I'm pretty close, based on photos, but there probably is margin for improvement).

The tail section is 100% based on photos from various sources, so I'm confident it's accurate. I think the plan is incorrect in that respect (though better than most of what I've seen until now).

I'm slowly learning to accurately analyse pictures to define the shapes on my profiles. It's not that easy to do but at least I know the results are good. Plans and line drawings are good to start with but should be discarded ASAP, I think. (I'll pretend to still need them, though, so John doesn't feel abandoned).

Drawings with station numbers are very helpful, though!

GM,

i always tell you lot, start with the drawings then check as many photos as possible
