There seem to be a few vacform builds here lately, and not wanting to be left out I thought I'd join in. It's too long since my last vac, so looking forward to this a lot. The subject is Contrail's Miles/HPR Marathon, a type which never really fulfilled its potential.
I'm sure my last Contrail kit was in a box, so I assume this is an older release, as it came in a bag:
Typical Contrail mouldings: a good starting point.
And unusually, you get a landing gear supplied too. I won't be using these, but it's nice that they were included:
And that's it: no decals, no propellers and no interior. But that's part of the fun. I will use spares box items for wheels, @John Aero has kindly supplied some metal propellers and the rest will be scratch-built. No ideas on colour schemes yet, but it won't be an RAF navigation trainer. More on that once I decide.
So a quick look at the moulding, which is on some pretty thick plastic card, so coarse wet-n-dry will be a must!
Hopefully a good few hours' worth of modelling pleasure ahead...
