I completed this just before the Curtis Racer but forgot to put it on!

Nice easy kit, well produced, no flash......................

I also finished a D-18 from that kit, about six weeks ago.  I wanted a US civil aircraft, so had to make my own decals, but they came out fine.

Nice kit for the money.  I enjoyed building it.

Both examples are very nice.  1/72 scale, I take it?

Hi Guys Thanks yes it's in 1/72. Now I'm trying to archive my stash of aircraft pics from nearly 30 years of marshalling at Silverstone Air Traffic. Now is this aircraft pictured below a C-45?

Thanks John, I thought so. I'll update my picture album accordingly. I hope to show these  albums but I suppose I'll have to get them all onto Photobucket first?

Yes, if you want to post them here they will have to be somewhere like Photobucket.

Yep.  I think positioning control surfaces away from the neutral position adds to appearance.

I shall also try to transfer an album of the Coys Festival, which was an annual classic car/plane meeting.

Yes Steve, the one I like best is the one where someone brings along your 1930's Bentley to pick you up when you land in your Tiger Moth biplane!
