But like all modern Airfix kits there is a need to scrape any paint from the mating surfaces. Careful planning is needed as with all kits to add paint and transfers before adding underwing weapons. This beautiful kit can be built with the wings spread. Oh, and watch out for the undercarriage door pistons that will stick out proud of the bottom of the aircraft and will be prone to be knocked off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad-4N Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Fantastic. Love it. What is the deal with the under wing codes being so light? Were they over-painted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riksbar Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The aircraft looks great, but I expected to see an empty bottle as well😁. You’ve inspired me to build (and drink) mine! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Hands Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Wonderful. I have the same kit plus loads of AM. I am excited to build it. Your build is very inspirational. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdave22014 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Do you know, this has sat in my cabinet on display since I finished it and I've only just realised that the wingtip lights are the wrong colours? I've got port and starboard mixed up. Oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
