Hi chaps
I have posted two photos in Reference Diorama section
Flight office back left corner when facing out to front of building.
The original paintwork I saw was brown. Runway indicator board to the right in both photos
Some years latter paint work green and Duty Office must have said ..
Muck and Filth everywhere Mr Warwick
...because someone has tidied up the tea cups and broom!

Painted the brick piers supporting the balcony and put the 'rails' around the roof. Added the verticals for the handrail on the front staircase to the roof. I have also constructed a new Runway indicator board; '18'  Note that the roof staircase does not obscure the view from main windows.


I will have to complete the glazing in the 'penthouse' later as i am out of that particular glazing ...

Final photo's show the outdoor scene ...(Two basic Airfix Control Tower kits joined together with improved front windows, Penthouse, additional extensions for Map and crew
rooms
