thank you very much for your help, it's much appreciated. I will let you know how I get on refurbishing the model over the winter. Mine is currently in the Blue Angels scheme but I fancy a grey and white version and since the paint work isn't brilliant its an ideal time to repaint the model. Have to say I am very impressed with the model and its a real shame there are no UK importers of your kits at the moment. On the plus side it should make mine a bit of a rarity.
Cheers
Ian
