Blanket thanks to everyone who looked- trying to keep individual replies 
on-list to a minimum since this was decided to be a Bad Thing a few months 
ago. Jim, cockpit shots won't happen since the last think I did was to apply 
a light coat of filler-dust that I couldn't get to come off. Anyway, apart 
from what's in the kit I only added a couple of pumps, broad lap-belts from 
tape and sprue, a PE wicker seat that's too high (more suited to a Camel) 
but better than solid anyway, laminated plastic fuel tank for the seat to 
sit over, a bench for the observer, cross bracing, a false floor to hide the 
centreline seam, some control cable runs and (from PTFE plumbing tape) a 
mess that's supposed to be the canvas that closes off the rear of the 
observer's cockpit, with a pouch in it. Plus some gubbins to smarten up the 
control panel a bit. It's all ruined, with these little green immovable 
flecks of filler.

Mikko, Eric,  the trouble with my F2b collection is I don't know when to 
stop. I plan on 3 more in this scale, and 3 in 1/72nd.

Cheers,    Paul (now working on a Sopwith Tabloid, for a change).
