It's the mix of the metal that counts, that its strong yet can hold the detail and not tear the moulds.......

Great build and fab background story. I have similar memories but not the family connection, the benefit of being an Air Cadet in the mid 80's, Dan Air 1-11 from Corfu to EMA arriving back on July 13 1985, the day of Live aid !! As for Halfords paints, I used to use just the grey primer but was shocked to see it's now £12 a can...... I only use Xtracolor enamels as it gives a great solid finish and is pretty much indestructible especially if you use it warm ,on a warm model and leave it in the airing cupboard to harden.....

That's a great result and I think the issues with the wash has turned out well as it really looks the part rather than weathered to the scrap yard state. I have one of these in the Export version boxing, in the stash and this has moved it up... !! -
Is this any good, latest harness , removed from a Hawk May 2022 at RAF Shawbury

That sounds interesting ..... I have a very old reel of the original stretch thread that will split into thinner strands if you snap the ends but I've always find it twists so would be interested to see yours in situ.....

Many thanks for your kind comments, if they're criticizing this kit then there's no hope for them !! I have to say I agree 110% with you on your comments, I have stopped posting on facebook and you tube sites for that very reason. One person asked about how to stop decals silvering and I and a numbers of others suggested using a gloss finish , to be met by one person not just giving there opinion but telling everyone they were wrong and there was no proof gloss made any difference . When I pointed out I had used the same method for in the region of 40 years it still wasn't accepted as 'proof'! I did go on to explain that I had always followed the advice of the microscale system, ( apply to a gloss surface) and they seamed to go away

Many thanks for your kind comments, I often like to build then paint but this defiantly needs the paint then assemble technique !!

Many thanks Colin, it's a long time since I built a biplane and this has got to be the best engineered one ever !!

Go for it the engineering is worth the build alone

Many thanks, it really is a great kit. The Bulldog was the type he crashed in but I believe it was a 23 Sqn Machine he crashed in

Thanks for your comments, I can't ever recall seeing these wheel rim decals previously, they fit perfectly and show how Airfix have upped their game in trearms of attention to detail. Now if they could get it to rig it's self......
