lovely work there....now it makes me want one even more.

i got mine when it first came out....and being in Australia i maybe no help sorry.

thank you everyone....and now it seems i need two of the new release MKxiv civil spits....this is the first of the new Airfix 1/48 kits i have built(there are a few more in my stash)...and if they are like this they will be a pleasure to build.

i had been sharing this in the work in progress forum. so it's done the new Airfix MKxii in 1/48 and i found it to be a great kit i did the most common photographed MKxii as i found out it was flown by an Australian..also interesting it was also the last MKxii delivered and is based on a MKviii fuselage rather than a MKv. 83514583_1180390075489696_1406653999062450176_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 83467653_1180390192156351_4754175823374712832_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 83340302_1180390152156355_4170509352899182592_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 84056969_1180390045489699_6274459775027642368_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 83171320_1180390115489692_6180200447064670208_o by paul sabin, on Flickr overall a lovely kit....and the only things wrong i'm pretty sure i caused it....i had a ball building it and may well buy another.
