Hi all
Back in February 2019 I opened a sort of time capsule containing five aircraft one of which was an old Airfix DH Heron.
It was pretty battered and had not had a sheltered journey from the 70s. Its transfers were peeling, the paint was faded and covered in dust and grime.
But on the plus side it was relatively intact including four complete propellers and all the landing gear, the only major part missing was the passenger door.
I couldn't think of any thing to do with it at the time so it went into the drawer of possibilities (not the box of doom mark you) to await its fate...... until now that is..........

There it is at the back, the EE Lightning in the foreground is currently in pieces whilst undergoing a restoration but has stalled because I'm having trouble reviving the canopy.
So first job is to disassemble the aircraft as I need to buff up the transparencies and also add some nose weight when I put it back together.

Also it's easier to widen the passenger door to allow easier access for stretchers, I don't plan to do any internal detail it depends on if I have to ditch the transparencies and use Klearfix
