HI All,  This was one peach of a kit.  All but a few very minor adjustments and it all went together without a hitch. The end result, some pics in close-up are shown below. Suggestions for improvements on future figurines will be gratefully accepted, so don`t be shy "Speak up" So, there`s my first effort at a 1:16 figurine. Hope you like  Any suggestions will be taken on board, as the 1:16 Stuka pilot is in the pipeline. Many thanks in anticipation. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Del Seems like ages since I last posted to you - guess we both have lots of life issues on the go at moment. Just remember as much as a pain it is you will get a resolve on your present issues - these guys are directed by "management concern" so forget quick results unless they have arranged a conference at some top hotel  Love the build Del. these Tamiiya kits are brill. Must admit they do not seem to get the attention in the modelling press i think they deserve. I have one or 2 stored in the loft which Mother now thinks will be hit by lightning and burn the house down  Hope you get back to your builds soon. I am about to start my Adler Loco build but feeling very nervous about posting my feeble attempts. Happy modelling to you. Kind regards Tony Happy Modelling
BUILDING: Hachette Spitfire Mk 1A, Constructo Mayflower
SUBSCRIPTION COMPLETE (Awaiting building): USS Constitution, Sovereign of the Seas, 1:200 Bismarck (Hachette)
COMPLETED: Porsche 911, E-Type Jaguar, Lam Countach

Hi Alan, Many thanks for the time taken to look in and your comments. As a first effort, you can appreciate how comments like these keep you interested and then keep you pushing forward, to improve and perfect your efforts. Have a few more things like this in the pipeline (resin and plastic) so when time allows, will break some out of their wrappings and we`ll see if things get better, or not  In the meantime, Happy Building Everyone.
