Here's my offering a kit we've seen many a time and needs no introduction other than mine is the 1991 boxing it's going to be out of the box other than some edaurd seat belts.

I built that back in the 70’s. It was a nice kit back then and I hope the 1990’s release resulted in decent moulds. I hear that there are a lot of signs of wear on later ones.
 
Hi Peter
A biggie. You'll need strong string to hang that from the bedroom ceiling :tongue-out3:

To start I want to display the engine as I know that you can't close the fuselage with the engine in.
And it looks like someone has already had a go at it so I have picked it apart and I will see what I have when I put it together. IMG_20220601_175222.jpg
And the prop has already had a go at and has some nice sink marks. IMG_20220601_175428.jpgIMG_20220601_175446.jpgIMG_20220601_175455.jpg
