Maybe it's "OK" as a Franklin Mint diecast, but it doesn't hold a candle
to
a properly built plastic kit.

Would this be anywhere near qualifying as what you mean Brian?
I've been waiting for an excuse to post the pic for a while now, it was
taken while the model was suspended in front of a white-ish wall having
given the prop a quick spin. I'm just a little disappointed by the under
wing light/reflection. A standard plastic kit completed by my brother.

Thanks Brian, he is currently working on a U-boat which I think should look
rather good.

My first reaction was "He's cheating! That's not a model - that's real!"
:-)

However, when you look closely - and it has to be really closely - you can
just about tell it's a model. Excellent work!
