I was thinking so until I dived deep into the build. The hardest part is not the kink (there is no kink, btw, it is an optical illusion) in the tail where cylinder turns into cone, Airfix got it totally wrong.

I only see a nostalgic value in this reissue. If I wanted a Trident in 1/144 I would rather wait for Eastern Express I tried to fix known inaccuracies for this build, eventually it took far longer than I hoped it would

I never use "modelling thinners" Enamels - white spirit Laquors - cellulose thinner Acrylics are tricky, it is IPA mixed with distilled water, but the proportion varies from 0 to 100% depending on the brand. There are still a lot of suppliers that provide these simple chemicals online for the fraction of price of "specialised" thinners

There was a good thread a couple of years ago about how industrial styrene injection moulding works. I spent some 20 minutes abusing BM's search engine but I could not find it. IMO if kit parts are not produced by this process and equipment then it is eligible for this GB- 354 replies

@Mjwomack @trickyrich For the record, as a co-host I do have a problem with including AMonsters. Having built a couple I know that building these things despite their sheer size is just like building any other injection short run kit. Following the same logic, we should allow any kits that include a couple resin parts. The GB after all is about the spirit, about building something differently. What I want to avoid is the situation with "Interceptors" GB that crawled into just "Fighters".- 354 replies

Not much to show, although a lot has been done. Another example that "closed body == 25%" rule is wrong

- Alexey, what are you planning for this year Christmas Blitz? - Well, something easy, quick, safe - How about a short-run kit of executive plane with full interior, third party declals and some scratch building? - Sounds good! Quick and easy! - Exactly, bring it on, what can potentially go wrong?!

Inspiring build! I afraid I'm starting to be wanting this kit!

No, this issue has nothing in common with the one you mentioned. New moulds, all original
