Pleasant little kit, no issues at all, very enjoyable build.

Nice job Del.
I'm off for a delve into the internet now. Seeing your build has me me curious about the arrestor gear!! Seen the aircraft a few times but always ashore, never seen the arrestor hook deployed!!

Found a pic. I see now, the bottom of the rudder assembly forms part of the hook gear.

Cheers Waspie,

Yes, the hook lowers along with the underside of the rudder, you get the choice of it retracted or released on the model

Really looks great Del. Interesting wing fold on that one. Looks like it’s been caught “mid flap”……
