Once the repaint is finished and we can finally put the sanders down, we are hoping to do a series of close up shots/info especially for modellers. There are several panels which are specific to XL231 which most people will not have seen or noticed - watch this space! <br /><br />Please email victorxl231@mail.com if you have any specific areas you would like us to cover in detail.

Strange that a piano type hinge wasn't used in such a critical area - or the feature may be something else entirely and I'm completely mistaken!<br /><br />I'd been hoping they would appear in the latest photos posted, but your speed of progress and race with the weather seems to have precluded that.<br /><br />Please don't skimp on the photos - especially when it comes to the underside reinforcement plates and strap details as it's unlikely that such a comprehensive collection of airframe details will again be made available to those of us with little chance of seeing a Victor 'in the flesh'.<br /><br />Best wishes and thanks for your sustained efforts in keeping Lindy presentable for future generations. chekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076463055055404580noreply@blogger.com
