Dave completed the Perkasa design shortly before his death and it is now on sale.

He complained about the complexity of all the fittings compared with his beloved Faireys but secretly I think he was very proud of it and went to great lengths to get everything right.

The photo shows what an impressive model it is and for what you get it seems a pretty fair price too.

A great tribute to his skills and I hope it will sell well

Dave was a really great modeller taken far too soon, greatly missed on this forum for his wit and straight talking

I never managed to meet Dave but we conversed regularly on the dark web (Private Messages) and had many a good laugh about stuff .

Regards Ray
