Hi Nick,

That's a stunning job. Absolutely fantastic!

Haven't made a kit for a few years, but will be returning to the hobby some time soon.

Regards,

Tom

There is a photo of Typhoon EK139 HH-N "Dirty Dora" being serviced/re-armed in a blast walled dispersal at RAF Colerne, this dispersal is still there though hidden by bushes..
