Time I started something with wings so i pulled this one out of the stash a very nice looking kit,plenty of nice moulding so I am going to enjoy putting this or together.


And if any one hasn't got it get it you won't be disappointed.


I have made a start on the office a kit in its self.

Only thing to watch out for is the ip decels need cutting off centre to get them to fit

No problems at the moment the only thing is with the decels (see pic).


So it looks like airfix have done their home work.


And i am following the airfix mag build.

Well done Peter that'she the sort of information that helps anyone else who wants to do this model and what makes this forum so great. People are so keen to share.

What with the warm weather paint dries quickly making for a quick build and plus more time on my hands.


So here's this mornings and last nights work.


All wings are complete and attached the body halves go together easily with no issues but a lot of weight will be needed.


And there could be gaps at the wing roots (there was on mine).


I have opted for one engine on a stand and one in place but with covers off.


And gun bays on show.


Here's the pic's
