This was languishing uncompleted for a good eight years after I packed away my old modelling room prior to a house move. Now completed as newly delivered V-HE from 263 (F) squadron in August 1940. One of the great under appreciated aircraft in my opinion, with very advanced features for its day.
Did the cockpit closed up for a change, so here’s a shot through the canopy.
…and a last side view…
Not a bad kit. I had a little trouble with the gear doors as, usually with aircraft kits, the location was far from positive. I made a cock up with the camo on the undercart doors, and there is one major anomaly in the kit that would not be an issue on later aircraft. The decals are Xtradecal as the kit ones were pretty poor and dubiously coloured. Decals cost me more than the kit to be honest, but were worth the improvement.
Hope you like it.
