It’s with great sadness that Neil Gillies(Igull) passed away.
I’m not exactly sure when it was but have been told it was in December.
Neil was a good friend, a brilliant modeller and engineer, he supplied many laser cut kits to many modellers around the globe and also donated many prizes to the Ponty retro do. Neil you will be greatly missed. R.I.P.

Neil was a great supporter of Ponte.He made a fair few rib/ former sets available for a number of my plan features in RCM&E. 362 Delta, Wagtail, Coquette, Pulstar, Pushover to name but a few.
I'll miss our chats.

So sorry to hear this! I bought quite a few laser cut bits off him over the years, most notably the wing ribs for my "Jackdaw".

R.I.P. Neil.
