not meny off the build, it was a day in da shed, wet day..

Thanks for the info, thought i hadn't missed some stealth purchase but
Wow Mike/Elliot [it was a day in da shed] just rolls of the tongue,
must be some voices you got up there
It somehow just looks right :admire:
If you ever get a chance, just a pic from above of the painted jobbie would be
smashing.
