Telboy3510 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I don't know if this is one of Airfix's new tools but all of the sprues were very crisp and the model went together with very little need for filler. Unfortunately when I unmasked the canopy there were a couple of small pieces of white Tamiya tape on the underside. every model provides learning opportunities and I wll make certain in future to check before I glue them into place. Once again built entirely out of the box and painted with Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics. Thanks for looking, all comments and criticisms are welcome. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Outstanding scooter! 👍Yes I'm pretty sure it's one of Airfix's later moulds. Built it some time ago and have to agree that it's excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Very nice Scooter! One small suggestion, if I may, would be drilling out the oil vent on the left side of the fuselage - it's a rather attention catching item on the real thing: http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-airfix-172-4b4p-modeling-notes.html?m=1 Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Again, a very nice one. One of my favourite aircraft too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Very nice build. I like how you've done the panel lines. Done one of my scooters with black lines and it looked horrible, should have done it in a similar colour to yours. Looks far more realistic. The tooling is indeed a new one. One of the later boxings as well. Annoying for me as I was after VA-15 decals and Airfix didn't have this one released. Ended up sourcing aftermarket decals. Oh well 👨🌾 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
