stevej60 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Morning folk's,I could have sworn I'd started a thread for this on Monday but can't find it.Anyway KK have a few of these at £5:99 so as it's got a Swedish option and I've never built one here we go.I was very suprised on opening the box as I'd seen this kit in the range since the poly bag days but it's a really nice piece of molding especially the engine,lovely soft gray plastic and a great decal sheet.

Col. Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Another fine subject choice Steve. I wonder if these moulds have weathered well through the years due to being a less commonly released subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've an early blister-pack release in my stash that needs some attention and it was certainly a well-moulded kit back then so glad to hear it has survived.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hello Steve as I'm building the same exact kit. I can say the molds did hold up well, other than the Known propeller flub Airfix made. It turns the correct way but if memory serves it is shaped backwards. Lets hope your cabane struts hold up better and align easier than mine. I wound up using plastic strip for them in the end. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 haven't I seen you around here already!!! I must have a severe case of deja-vu now......like for 6th or 7th time?? I think you've officially become and honouree Nordic person now! Although knowing the Vikings excursion trips I bet a fair few of you lot over there have distant links to that area!!! Anyway offtrack as usual.......a nice wee choice you're made, will look good in the NMF (Natural Metal & Fabric ) finish. Hopefully you won't have the same trouble as poor old Dennis did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 That looks great Steve. IIRC the Bulldog was one of Airfix's later kits (by my childhood standards!), and that certainly seems to be reflected in the mouldings. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSH Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Nicely done Steve, I do like the Bulldog, I have the old Pyro re-box of the 1/48 Inpact kit and am really looking forward to hopefully doing it for the proposed Bristol Aircraft GB. Your's is looking very tidy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
