Thanks guys, i now feel as though i have a worthwhile reason to finish it, my intention is also to do an fmk8 so if all goes well with this i cant see any reason not to do one although the cockpit is completely different to the f3 and f4. pman that is definately something i would be interested in so will start getting it into a more finished state. The skin is just basic at the moment to get the panel lines and rivets etc in the right places and some bits still need mapping
