I am building my Rotodyne for the PX campaign, and whilst fitting the rubbishy ill-fitting doors, I left my model drying, covered liberally in green putty. Guess what...... I left my light over it, not too close mind you... and melted the back end. The ill fitting doors are now full of enormous holes, the rear fuselage has folded over on itself and developed a huge hole!!! I am such an idiot!! I am trying to repair the damage with putty and extensive sanding so fingers crossed.

If my repairs don't work, has anyone got a spare rear port side door for a Fairy Rotodyne?

Howdy winch,

Mighty sorry to hear of your bad luck mate.

In regards to your request for a replacement.."...spare rear port side door for a Fairy Rotodyne? ..."
What did Harry Potter say?......"Flick and Swish!" was it?

Tread.
