Lookin' good sir !!

Hmm - never tried to access it on a phone - it certainly works on my laptop - by the way check David Ferrari's views !!

Anyone know more than me about this here new-fangled tech stuff? (actually that's everyone............)

Interesting statistical footnote - given that there's only about 60 of us members, your Neptune seems to have attracted global attention....check out how many views the post has had!

That stirred a few memories !

Considering the age of the kit you have definitely sorted it ! I never quite understood, given the box art, why Airfix didn't include a deflated skirt (same problem with Trumpeter's LCAC - Pit Road apparently briefly re-boxed it with a resin skirt but I never saw one ...
