Hi Mace -

Thanks, I appreciate the offer.

I suspect I'll be making bits and pieces Nick never envisioned.

I already dropped the notion of adapting a sailplane spoiler mechanism. Didn't seem anywhere near robust enough for the sheer size of the fighter brakes and dive brakes.

BTW - I've not going to admit how long the Ziroli kits have been languishing on the to-be-built-models shelf, but your Dad was still answering phones and roaring around the shop when they were cut.

Thanks too for continuing the tradition of excellent workmanship.
