Slightly jumping the gun here as I've started a CA F4. God I'd forgotten what an utter DOG this kit is!!!!!!!!!

Nice built, nice jet! I've only built one KH offering - their RF101 - & I have to say I was NOT impressed with it on so many levels but this one might be different!

Looks real!!!!!!!!!!

That's a knockout! Nice a clean, just like I build them!

Lovely job! I built this kit several years ago & it didn't look a 10th as good as yours! I wish Airfix would consider this in 1/48! Alright the real thing was a bit of a dog but at least it was good looking!…….

A plane that LOOKED 10 times better than it actually was! What a shame!!

Xtracolour from Hannants supply RAF High Speed Silver.

Great job. Kudos for applying all that stencilling!!!

Super useful! Thanks!

This is the text from my listing, just as it appeared. Little ambiguity there I feel! Offloading a few that no longer fit my collection & are just gathering dust but too good & representing too many hours of work to simply put in the bin. Here’s a 1/72 scale Airfix Douglas Dakota DC-3. Authentic colours & markings for an early post war RAF machine. Nice addition to any collection. See my other items for more 1/72 bombers & others. I simply can’t pack this well enough to post so for COLLECTION ONLY (please do not message me for postage costs) from near Stansted Airport. Please ask for more details or images if required.

Had me going there! All excited about a nicely engineered & detailed 1/48 Whirlwind kit…….then I read on!

And by the by, earlier I listed 2 x Airfix Lancs & a B-17, again all CLEARLY listed for collection. One buyer bought all three & as I was invoicing I saw he was in AUSTRALIA!!! I contact him, he was apologetic & I cancelled the order.

About 3 weeks ago I listed a few built models on eBay, having had success in the past. One was an Airfix Dakota, CLEARLY described in BOLD script in the description as for collection only, In addition the P&P section of the listing stated, no postage, collection only. A buyer bought it, I invoiced & AGAIN the invoice states "for collection", the buyer paid & I simply sat back to await his contact to arrange collection. Yesterday he sent me a VERY aggressive message via eBay to the effect that he hadn't noticed the collection business & he wasn't prepared to travel 140 miles to collect it & why wasn't I prepared to post it (again I had explained in the listing that it was fragile & hard to protect). TBH I had doubts about him when I saw he lived so far away but left it too him to mention this. Had he messaged me AT ANY TIME explaining that HE had made an error, didn't realise it was collection, HE was sorry & would I consider refunding, I would probably have agreed but his message to me appeared to lay the blame on me & as I say was very aggressively phrased. He has opened a case with eBay, I have the choice to refund, send the item, or contact the buyer but I am not prepared to do any of this as currently it is being handled by EBay's "automatic claim resolution service" that only gives you these options. I'm going to wait until ebay step in & investigate & I am allowed to state MY case. It's ONLY £20 but there is a principle involved here!

What a beauty!!!!!

A bit lacking in the wheel bay detail dept IIRC but otherwise a nice kit!

SNEB pods would seem the obvious answer. Others many know differently.

Trying to view a response to a question I raised in one of the forums but when I click on the "bell" top right of the screen, I get told that I "do not have permission to view this"!??

Nice work so far. Having built a couple of these models, I can confirm the an old mini engine should provide enough nose weight!

NICE job!!!!

My Revell Shack AEW3

Well if you're referring to ATC flights then mine too was from Cambridge in the early 70s (953 Squadron).

Nice bunch of Mirages!!

Thats STILL not enough to prevent tail sitting with the Airfix 1/48 Canberras!!

Thats a terrific build. I'd love to be able to track down one of these at a reasonable price!

That's a nice build. I also recently finished this kit (it's on here somewhere) and I'm glad you also found the instrument panel cover a tough fit as it means it wasn't just me. The location of the main gear oleos is indeed highly nebulous but I got a good fit on the upper wing to fuselage joints by attaching them to the fuselage BEFORE I attached the lower wing - in fact I ALWAYS attach such parts in this order nowadays!
