Jazzy Jase Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Looks good. I have one on order. I want to build a wartime Benson-based example, which I believe is featured on the forthcoming Xtradecals set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thx6667 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) ...... The kit Jonathan..............not you They all say that... OK, some quick pics for tonight including the moulded side wall detail - there's more stuff on the sprues to add. Single piece lower cowl and the carb intake. And a shot of the nose showing the panel and faster detail. Now I like this level of detail, it takes primer and allows me to polish it down with Scotchbrite to get a smooth surface for paint, something I do with all my aircraft models. That's it for now, supper's ready! Edited January 26, 2013 by Jonathan Mock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gibson Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the pix above Jonathan. However, is there any chance of a pic of the clear parts please? Thanks, Dave Edited January 26, 2013 by Dave Gibson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I suspect some parties are going to knock it for the depth of the panel lines (by the looks of it), but I'm very impressed so far. I've been eagerly awaiting this since it was announced, and Airfix haven't disappointed. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
