Fast work, Glen!

It looks good next to its larger siblings.

Barry thank you sir
Modelperry, thank you, I couldn't resist tinkering with this one, as you can see, not "out of the box" at all. But yours may be cleaner at the seams than mine is.
Don-sama, it doesn't really quite fit in, I'll have to make a 1/33 someday

. This is a good looking aircraft, I understand it was a pretty good low altitude performer?

Thank you gents! I can recommend this little guy for a build, really the fit was excellent, only figuring out how to do the formers was my problem with it, I'm still not sure what the best way is, as no room exists for much of a glue strip unless the former is reduced in size.. which is basically what was done here. I'm now trying to figure out if another side project or push forward on Cleo, basically both probably. Don-sama you may be interested in an attempt I made to use the steam tug from the Jim K link for civil war era ships to adapt part for my steam launch the "Ermine"...will show more if forward progress is made..
