Wonderful! :D
The OS and Taylorcraft too, of course.... ;)
My first car was a yellow 1978 4GTL, fond memories... :P
I noticed yours doesn't have the extra cooling air inlet like mine had.
Yours has the front licence plate there instead, just like my dad's 4TL back then.
My GTL's successor, a 4F6, served me for a great many years until it literally came apart.
I once replaced the gear box (synchros were shot), found a good one from a 4GTL at the dump.
The very first time I tried it in 1st gear, it went backwards..... :oops:
Both were 1108 cc engines, but in the 4F6 turning the other way.
Took it apart again and swapped it for the right one.
Oh, where are those days when I could do these things myself...

Back to modelling, I see your channel ribbon. Guess what?
Some day I'll put it back to work again....
