I've had this resin kit unmade for decades, but finally gave it a go. There are only about eight lumps of resin main parts (some were warped), plus rather crude metal bits for the various details. There are no decals provided. The poorly detailed vacuform canopy I swapped for the spare vacuform canopy from the Pavla Martinet kit. Considerable trimming was required to fit it to the Magna model as the Pavla one has part of the fuselage structure incorporated into the canopy moulding. The metal Magna propellor was also made to rotate, with difficulty.

This aircraft went on to serve with 1490 (Fighter Gunnery) Flight, also at Ouston, before re-joining the Station Flight. Subsequently it was transferred to the nearby RAF Acklington Station Flight, followed by 1 Air Gunners School at Pembrey, and finally the Central Fighter Establishment. It was struck off charge in January 1947. This is another addition to my 'RAF Ouston Research' project and website.
