Challenger350Pilot Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Now THIS is beautiful, Neil! WOW. Very nice work on the Herron. She's such a clunkily beautiful bird. Have not built this kit, but I think Airfix has done pretty well in giving you a canvas from which to produce something really nice. Love the detailing, too.

Turbofan Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Hi Neil, I absolutely love this! The work you've put into improving the original kit has paid off in bucket loads. So much extra detail and a superb finish make this stand out as the best civil build this year for me. Looking forward to more!!

Mr T Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Very nice build, you would not think it was built from such an old kit. I remember bring given one when I was about 10 and it wasn't a new kit then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Astonishing build from a 1959 mould. That’s 60, yes 60 years ago and the finished product looks like a kit from this century. I think that’s one of the best “updates” I have seen in a long time 👏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
