Here,s my entry a golden oldie from Heller,not obvious from my poor photos are the very fine details which are excellent

for a kit of this vintage.I am building 00B but am going to try to represent the wing fold option,and change the decals as

the kit ones are not great. And yes it is moulded in turquoise blue!SDC10276_zpsdc66f57c.jpgSDC10275_zps6562bede.jpg

Heller kits from this period were very much admired at the time apart from decal quality which you have already identified.

Totally agree,I am just completing a couple of night fighter hurricanes and can,t wait to start the airacobra I have just picked up all for £6 each.

Work completed to date.the wheei wells have no detail so I added a little from evergreen strip.Cockpit looks busy enough for the scale.SDC10283_zps45c4e94f.jpgSDC10284_zps69f5afe7.jpg

Holliday over so a bit more progress, terrible gap along wing joint but a bit of filler will do the trick,overall fit is very good for such an old kit

no loss of raised detail during cleaning of the seams so far so good!thanks for looking.SDC10335_zpsd224d08c.jpg
