Interesting subject Peter. Welcome back.

Another one I remember struggling with as a kid. They used to have a Scout as the gate guardian at Wattisham, but even that's been replaced by a Gazelle at some point. Following with interest....

Nice one peter , didnt you do a scout a while back or was that somebody else ( doug perhaps ?) anyways its a proper classic ,although how you ended up with 6 fuselage halves is a strange one! Cheers tony

This brings back memories

One i wish they would reissue so i could have another crack at it

Ooooo.....just had a flashback! .....airfix magazine sometime in the 70s.......how to convert to a wasp

Nice one Peter

Looking forward to watching your build, I’ve had a soft spot for the Scout since watching the Who Dares Wins film.

That's gonna be fun. 22 year old moulds so maybe a bit worn depending on how many re-releases there were in the intervening years. I'll follow your progress with interest.

[peterairfix]

Thanks every one.
made a start by painting a bucket of parts and making the simple cockpit

[colin m]

A nice choice Peter. I've never built one of these, but always liked the look of one.

[peterairfix]

more work done all the engine parts are finished and ready to put together and the the two halves are sewn up

[peterairfix]

Almost finished just the decals to go and as mine are all shot i will have to order a new set

[Geoffers]

Looks very nice Peter and in super, quick time too

Geoff.
