Basuroy Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 This airfix kit ( the starter pack edition ) is rather special to me because this is how it all started in Jan 2015 . I am from India and scale modelling is non existent here bar a handful of modellers , all of us relying on imports . As such I had no exposure to this hobby and in fact was completely oblivious of the same until I stumbled upon the airfix kit in an e commerce shop while searching for something else . The low price of 300/- INR and the fact that it came with brush , glue and paint prompted me to order one - I am sure I would have passed if the kit didn't have the glue and paints and missed on a wonderful hobby . I really enjoyed the build and I quickly ordered another starter pack kit - the swordfish . Long story short , I purchased about 8-10 of these starter pack kits , then got an airbrush , found HLJ and ebay and I think you all know how it unfolds from here I built this kit recently out of the box and here are the pics - Regards , Basu Roy 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalkeEins Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 ....don't Airfix manufacture in India or have I got that wrong? very nice looking Emil - you got the strengthening strips on both sides of the fuselage, I'm sure they weren't on my starter pack.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 A beautifully crafted build there. I rather think you've "arrived" as a modeller. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
