Brilliant start on an amazing kit. What do you think of the quality of the parts, I.e. Mouldings, detail, plastic quality etc? Is your canopy OK?

Thanks for sharing the build with us.

Hi and Welcome.

A very ambitious project which I look forwards to following.

Just one thing. Many of the photos in the first post are repeated many times. (One of them I counted at least five X the same photo).

Could you edit them please.

Hi Steven

Welcome to the forum. And what an introduction! Jumping right in there with a 1/24 diorama! Great stuff.

I look forward to seeing this progress and, judging the pace of the start of the build, I won't need to wait too long!

Looks like a really great start to the airframe and the hanger looks like it will be really imposing.

Best of luck with the rest of the build, I'll be watching with great interest.

Cheers

Paul

The plastic is flimsey . The detail fantastic . No my canopy was cracked been waiting for over a week for a replacement . Moulding a lot of pin marks And a of little bits of plastic hanging of the parts . . hope this help you . but don't let it put you down on the kit .

My brain cannot compute the resources that went into developing the original aircraft to this standard of complexity, then everything that goes into manufacturing the thing, training the pilot, ground crew administration etc. not to mention support industries such as electrical, hydraulics etc. just to see it blown out of the sky by the enemy.

This is such an amazing kit that it starts your mind wandering into such areas of thinking because you really get to see what is involved in these things. I was surprised to see a 24 cylinder engine. What would it cost nowadays to simply mass produce a 24 (or is it 12, Steve will know!) cylinder aircraft engine? War is certainly a staggering waste of resources.

Welcome to the forum Steven, very nice work so far. Excellent, not being a aircraft person, not sure what green bit you're after.
