So!
A couple of years back I was at a modellingshow in Randers, Jutland, Denmark, where I spotted this oldie but goodie offered for sale for the princely sum of 75 Dkr (ca. 8£)!
But - the seller told me - he wouldn't sell it to me, unless I promised not to sell it on Ebay for a large sum of money. I told him, that I always intend of building the kits I buy, and so I was allowed to buy it.
As a child I remember seeing this kit in the Airfix catalogue so I was very happy to finally being able to getting it.
The box had had an accident being 'stabbed' and the kit had suffered from it resulting in a crack on the lefthand fuselage.
The first order of the day was therefore to repair this with some plasticcard. This done, it went back into the box awaiting more info.
And this is where it sat until now.
The colour callout are for the old Airfix range, but luckily Vicarage Vee, Seahawk and Clipper helped me with this, so now I'm good to go.
As it stands now, the two fuselage halves, the stern and the frontdeck are all glued together.
And may I take this opportunity to apologize for my lack of knowledge of the correct nautical terms - I am but a simple landweller with no experience of the wonders of the sea!
This is all for now - and - as always - this build may take some time as it is the first shipkit I've modelled in ages!
Cheers
