Thanks Jason.
Here are the MK 9 kit contents.
Near to the front of the fuselage moulding you can see a TX to lend scale to the parts.
Thats 2.8metres span, All detail, all moulded, all British, just like the real thing.

Thought I would post these after three sorties with Ken on a practice day up at Baldock in May.
Ideal conditions and the field to ourselves meant we could get close in, circuit after circuit.
So good, we were even looping in formation show centre.
Many thanks to Ken for his team support, North london club for the air time and Barry Watson's top photography.
Second picture begs a caption contest, winner receiving a Flying Legends polo shirt , all in good taste mind.....

Mike.
