Haris Ali Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hello everyone. By no means a recent kit, but another from the loft which really hasn't fared well. Fitting the upper wing was always a problem and sure enough a recent look inside the box showed that after its' last showing the wing had come away, together with struts and a tangle of nylon monofilament. I don't think I have the patience to re-build it so it stays in its box until another day. The photographs will have to suffice - fortunately I took quite a few, including a record of the construction. I'm a bit sad about it really as I was pleased with the result. It was a nice kit, in spite of all the resin (not my favourite medium), and all the markings were sprayed using the masks supplied. I tried their Fury after this and really struggled with it, which made me appreciate how good the Gamecock was in comparison. Haris 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham T Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Well it came out a LOT better then mine! I really struggled with the masks but I liked the kit itself so I picked up the Alleycat offering with "proper" decals to tackle sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Stunning, a true work of art, especially with those nice 23 sqn colours. Weathering is superb. I'll be bookmarking this. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haris Ali Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 A lovely looking bird... if only could find one in 1/72. Hi there. Look around. Aeroclub did a 1/72 limited run injection moulded kit, whilst Czech Master did a resin one. I picked up a couple of Aeroclub ones for a few pounds each at shows not so long ago.
