Cheers, Alistair I know what you mean, I keep looking at one of these but have a Premiere kit of this type with PE and am waiting for the SH 32nd Westland Whirlwind kit which is on Pre order at the mo so can't really justify getting one, yet!!! Although I could get the book of raffle tickets out.... look what I won dear....!!! I am off to do some modelling now as am hoping to finish the Ventura done tonight.

2996 Victor Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Fabulous finish, Alistair, and the Suez scheme looks excellent! The work you put into the engine was amazing, such a shame it's hidden away! Looking forward to the FM-2 Wildcat next Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to add that I'm doing a lot of this - now up to four AZ Mohawks, five Airfix Gladiators, two Arma Hurricane Mk.IIB/Cs plus three sets of overtrees. Thankfully, pretty much everything else is singular! But I have an Excel spreadsheet of planned builds. That can't be healthy, can it? Nurse! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What'd you think of the kit? Thanks very much. The kit was great after some serious fit issues at the start. It must have been me but the engine was way too big to fit and had to be shortened and filed down a fair bit, but as no one else that I can see on the net has had the same problems I think it was something I did. Other than that it was a nicely fitting kit with no further probs. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
