Jackson Duvalier Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Looks to be a better kit than the old Hasegawa offering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Fab looking SLUF and a fantastic collection of classic Airfix. I have built all of them, apart from the Viking, in my youth. Lovely bit of nostalgia. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Looks fantastic. I built this kit in the early 80’s. Went together very nicely from what I remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell209 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I had that kit years ago - I'm amazed the decals were still usable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sentiment exactly! Well done. All kits, old and new, are meant to be built regardless of their flaws. And improving old ones can be fun too!

Work In Progress Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That is indeed the original issue/. I can't remember the last time I saw one of these built. It looks really very good, much better than I held the kit in my vague bundle of preconceived ideas. A good reminder that some of those '70s Airfix 1/72 jets were in fact very decent for shape. The decals look great considering they are almost 50 years old! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Another little stunner, Steve. And they look great parked together. Let's be honest, modelling is simply more fun when building these oldies! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 A great looking Corsair. I remember building that exact machine when I was around 13, a mere 45 years ago! You've certainly done a fine job of this old offering, and the decals have held up well too. Top modelling! Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
