Taking my seat... BTW, mate Greg Baker has already presented his take on the S.7 theme... WHIF: Supermarine S.7 | Album by strobez (1:72) so I'm eager to see this one as well... Seems that, technologically, yours would be even more advanced! 🙂 👍

Neither did I! 😉
The S.7B WHIF project approach is to build one proper S.6B as reference and the have a S.7B WHIF beside.
Thanks Ben M!👍🏻
