Howdy chaps. A tradition, me and the good wife, started a year or so ago was to take an airfix starter set on holiday with us. This year we have just arrived at flamborough, for a week, and we have both decided to build the recent airfix jet provost..... My wife is only a beginner at this game, but she does like to have a go too. This will be a log of my own build, as she doesn't fancy having her work put on here. It will be totally oob, using only the supplied brushes and paints, with the exception of tamiya extra thin glue being used. So far, in a couple of hours I've assembled most of the cockpit. I've decided not to use the two pilot figures as they are possibly the worst part of what is a beautifully molded kit. I cut the fuselage halves of the sprues to test fit it. A dry fitting session shows it fits nice and snug. Everything lines up perfectly. I also dry fitted the lower wing section, and that too fits well. In line with the newest output of airfix, test fitting is paramount, as everything has tight tolerances. The front section, just behind the nose wheel well, was a bit tight and needed a bit of sanding to get a snug fit. The area around the intakes fits neatly too. Next up is to paint the cockpit, and fit the instrument panel. More updates to follow, but they might be a bit sporadic, as we are on holiday. Matt.
