Thanks gentlemen, yes Hanno the kit needed quite a bit of work, parts correction, parts replacement, but still it got me underway & happy to have it done

Exactly my object of interest! Excellent build and paint. Rigging: which material?

Thanks Bernhard, funny you quiz me on the rigging - I found it intensely challenging & not my best work on the build. But this is not so much the fault of the product, more my inexperience. I used RB Productions etched SS RAF flat rigging wire. There's a full range of sizes accurate to 1/32, so for these primary wires at 1/48 I figured I could use the smallest 1/32 control wire. The ends of the rigging were embedded in a styrene sandwich which was then sanded to shape.

I'm sure you wired the ailerons up in reverse if you modelled its last flight!

Ha! there's every possibility! The display suggests beginnings of a bank to starboard ..!
