I know you are quick but that was very very very quick - even at the speed you have done it , it is excellent.

I have had it on the go for a while, it emerged when I found the Fokker.

Got to love a Dolphin... but did you build it for any particular porpoise? Lovely work, zak,

Hello GR.1.
The porpoise is I love biplanes, but find them hard to build.

I wasn’t really hiding.... just having difficulty deciding on an avatar. I suppose I should use one that shows who I am. Is that orca(y)?

It’s me! Hello and thanks for having me...
