Cheers Steve, yes it is and I’ve never built one before so I’m looking forward to it

Thanks Joe, I might go for the less colourful version though I’m not sure yet

With only a couple of days to go before we start I thought I’d better post some pictures of the kit.

As per usual with an Airfix kit all the frames come in a large plastic bag.

Fortunately unlike some of their other kits this pretty much fills the box so less sliding around. Only one small part has detached from the frames

So here is the plastic.





The clear parts look a bit scuffed but should polish out

(To be continued)

Well here’s part two, I couldn’t fit all the pictures in one post.

Instructions are the usual newer Airfix type.




The transfers look nice, I think they are Cartograph so should be good.

Two colourful schemes can be represented.


I’m probably going to go for the second one and try painting some of the markings.

Finally a little extra to jazz up the ejection seat.


I’m looking forward to starting it now.

Thanks for looking

Geoff.
