I shall almost certainly solder mine although I'm not very adept with
the solding iron.

So I have been told. Incidently the windsock article was 1997, not 1987
(a small typo on my part). As I understand it Ian Stairs also drew up
some plans of the production versions, but for some reason these were
not used.

Regards

Dave

I haven't done any bomber yet, and 
the prospect of detailing two of those engine nacelles looks daunting,
yet a 
challenge I must take sooner or later.
But what I like the best of the Fdh bombers are the complex
undercarriages! 
To do them justice in 1/72 it would be useful to learn how to use silver

solder.

There was a different arrangement of the struts and the tail and -IIRC-
the 
nacelle windows, right?
