Very good

You are a fast builder and painter especially a gloss finish, what paint did you use?

Good to see a civilian aircraft

Fantastic

Hi Ali

I used Humbrol matt blue (no. 25) enamel - 3 coats brush applied, followed by 3-4 coats of Johnson's clear.

Very please to see one of these completed, as I have this kit also, having flown in the real thing!! :closedeyes:

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.

:giles:

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...
