Looks nice .. have to get one...... compared to the Delta, twas a bit pricey...
Vandal ! You besmirch my good character sir......But how come Herpa could not emulate that unique characteristic that was so easily captured even by Siku 1/250 plastic in 1966 ? Beats me.

As for nosewheel shortening I may live with it as it is, until I go crazy thinking about it too much....then one day a frenzied attack may take place. When I get a bit of time I'll see how it all comes apart and then take a view.
