Some one has decided to slightly rub against the @Rocco

There's now a gap of approx 5mil at the top but the wing metal underneath has not been damaged, so looking for advice
as to what the best method would be to refix it back onto the wing. It appears that the plastic extension is about 2mil thick.

Cheers ;)

Wot A Beautt... :P

'TimeWarp Moment' :ugeek: :-

A guy who had a Scirrie, when they were current.... said to me the run-out 'Storm' (correct?) would be a GoldenKeeper.... in classic terms.

So then, they're out of the 'trough' now?.... minters only ;)

I'm liking that 8-) from the front I can see the VW Varient ancestry ..... Or is it just me :?

A neighbour in UK used to have a metallic grey one, always admired it, think it was a Sirocco Storm? Would that be right?
