    Great work Derek. I have this kit nearing ring the top of the to build pile. Can I ask what you used for the rigging? James

    Nice start Dave. Deffinately a good idea to start with the weapons, the part that takes the most time at the end of a build. James

    Good idea. That would include my second build Do we have a poll yet? James

    Great photos Shaun! I was at the show on Sunday. I took our 8 year old son so didn’t get to see as much of the flying as I would have liked but particular favourites were the Spitfire Vc solo display, the helicopters and of course the Bearcat and Corsair. Thanks for sharing. James

    If I can jump in with another observation of the new Airfix kits canopy. I thought that the rear rear section of the canopy should have the framing on the inside. I don’t have mine to hand right now but I’m sure that Airfix have moulded it onto the outside. Not a difficult fix with a sanding stick and a polish. Sorry if it’s been mentioned already. James

    Looking fantastic Alan. It’s great to see a British Hellcat in slightly different markings to the norm. James

    Nice work Pete. I have one of these kits currently on the bench. It’s a fun kit imho. The Eduard goodies certainly make a difference. I felt that the cockpit is the weakest area of the kit. James

    IIRC with the CA kit there was an issue with the shape of the sliding part of the canopy and also with the shape of the nose just in front of the canopy. Shame there’s not an accurate kit of this beautiful aeroplane in any scale. James

    Great news! IMHO the best box art of their 104 series of kits so far. James

    Nice work SD Its good to see a full bomb bay but it’s a shame Airfix haven’t supplied a 4000lb bomb to go with the bulged doors. James

    This sounds like an interesting idea for a GB with loads of possibilities. Please add me to the list. James

    Nice work! I built one of these about 10 years ago, it’s still one of the nicest I’ve built. Well done. James

    Just catching up with this one Craig. Great work, le Beast looks fantastic! I always love the look of the French tri colour painted onto the whole of the rudder. James

    Nice work Ray That problem with the mis mould on the spinner seems to be an ongoing problem for Eduard 109’s. My F-2 that I’m currently building has it as do both of the G-6’s in the stash. It’s not a big issue to fix as you’ve demonstrated. James

    Nice work. it’s good to see someone giving the kit a chance before rubbishing it. James
