Well, have already started on the Aermacchi Ralph. Have a few kits almost ready. They are spoken for. Next bunch won't be until December some time as I'm on the road again. I'll put you down for one of those.

Yeah, Magister is next. Probably be next year for that one. You have one of the originals Ralph?

Getting there. Added pilots, tip tanks and decals. Nearly ready for the weekend. Few more things to do but they will have to wait. Unfortunately it's a bit battered and bruised already from a couple of hard landings.

Big thank you to Anthony(error404) for doing the decal at such short notice.

Hey Ralph. Taking forever to get kit ready for this one. I don't have time to do fuselages myself these days so I sent the mould up to a guy I know in Donegal. Very good with composites. He designs and builds carbon fibre guitars. So about two days after I send the mould I get an email from him saying that his wife needs to go into hospital for a heart op! That's the last I heard from him. The plan was to have a bunch of fuses done by now. I've been putting off emailing him as u don't want to be insensitive. I'll chat to you over the weekend about it.
