        Just pulled up my chair Paul, a very nice start so far.

          As expected poor fit and poor instructions. All good fun. I have no doubt you'll sort it.

            This might seem a strange way of painting but i cant think of another way of doing it cos of all the struts that need to be attached

            This will go on the back burner to be dabbled with as time allows whilst the airfix gb is on

              Still doing little bits to this but its low quality is getting to me

              The decals wernt very good.....break up easy.....ended up with a non standard scheme as had to use some serial numbers from the spares box

              And why make a canopy.....which is a major support for the wings.. .from four poorly fitting transparant parts??

                It's coming along nicely despite the shortcomings of the kit, nice work Paul.

                  Despite the kit fighting you all the way you're getting there. Certainly a challenge.
