  Beautiful work on the Bristol, Paul!

    So is the model tricky to handle now?  Does it have enough strength to be moved around?

Thanks everyone. A word to the wise though - if you build this, go by the book 
and install the engine bearers when they say to. I left it until the rigging was 
done and found I couldn't align them well enough for the cowling panels to 
fit. I haven't fully wired up the engine, having intended to expose it only on 
the top and port side, but the radiator has to sit a couple of millimetres too 
far forward, which leaves too noticeable a gap.. Can't get in there to do it now 
and in this scale it would show.
 
    
Guess that just means I'll have to build another one...........   
:)
 
 
Paul.
