Darius at Home Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Very please to see one of these completed, as I have this kit also, having flown in the real thing!! Did you have any problems with it? Adrian - no real problems - care needs to be taken trimming the vac-formed canopy so that it fits the fuselage and the wing to fuselage butt joint needed reinforcing with steel pins. A nice kit - I wish they would bring out a 1:48 Hornet Moth to keep it company. Darius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hughes Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Careful with the instruction sheet on this kit folks, the graphic artist had a brainphart when he drew up the RAF camouflage! Incidentally, the real aircraft was photographed for the kit manufacturers, but they chose not to include some of the detail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
