    This is an excellent kit, the only real issue being around the canopy fit. If you build this kit I would recommend fixing the canopy into place, closed, at an early stage. There are issues with the canopy 'prop' that I explain in my build thread.

    some pictures

      Beautiful work as always, but I wonder how it flys with all the COTWs.

              Another superb result Barry. Despite the issues with the canopy having it open does show off the detailed cockpit.

                  A great result Barry, it looks a real beast with all the stores hanging off it

                          It is in the aeroplanes under construction:

                          My next build is a colourful one, the box I have heard a lot of good things about this kit and on opening I get a real quality feel just from how it packed. Now for some of the contents a small etch frame with a few brass pieces including the nose probe. The decals look to be very nice indeed, printed by Cartograph, two

                                  Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
