Planning to build this kit - bought for a whole pound at Telford 1999.

This kit was part of a load that IPMS Avon were selling - without boxes.

Has decals for these options - with which I might refurbish my Airfix Viking.

Planning to use these Bi-Centennial decals for this project.

Does this kit have a wing fold option or does that require some major surgery?

Apart from major surgery, the only other option is the wing fold set from Wolfpack Design.

That is a rather good colour scheme that you are doing, keep up the god work.

Funny story about painting this - that should teach me something.

Today I bought a White aerosol from a pound shop - which is actually a very very very very pale green :oops:

Won't be buying that one again!

Wolfpack did a folding wing conversion for it and l been trolling for one but they are hard to come by and they are currently out of production

I got my hands on the Paragon set some time back for my ES3.

I will have to drag that one out of the stash (folding tail too!)

I am sure that the Paragon set was to 1/48th as i asked Neil once at the Nationals if he was going to produce a set for 1/72nd, to which he said he might, but I have never seen anything.

As others have said Wolfpack design to a wing fold to 1/72nd.

Well today I went back to radiator paint, so the sea-sick Viking is back to its normal colour.

Photos tomorrow if the weather allows.

First an undercarriage shot:

Then the completed flyer - having just caught a 3-wire.

I don't know why my morning photos always look so dull :raincloud:

However I am continuing, with the decorated fuel-tanks.

This build brings my completed collection to 499 - so I'm thinking something a bit special for my

Demi-Millennium.
