The decks are perfect, thanks Mark ;) Not sure about payload yet, the kit comes with AIM9's, a lightning pod, gun pack & tanks. :cool: Will do a bit more research before making a final decision.

Back on it this evening :)

Benyboy, if you want to do a diorama, then go for it :thumbs:

Good luck mate.

Now that is turning into one smart build :thumb:

How are you finding the kit overall :unsure: , I know from first hand experience that the Airfix version does leave a lot to be desired :'( , but from you pictures, this version seems loads better :D

Cracking stuff Mark, oh, by the way, my sweets still have'nt arrived :lol: ;)
