RAF Jetstream from the Airfix kit

No way that’s a Mach 2 kit!  You can see into the cockpit.  Great job on both by the way.

...but only just...after a loy of polishing.

The King Air story is here by the way :

Excellent work Chris, Great  modelling skills and a superb paint job.  I to have the old Airfix kit and the Mand E engine conversion set.  Looks like I will have to start it after this.

That really is a lovely job given your starting place. Your conversion, additions and paintwork are exceptional. Well done.

I got rid of my Airfix kits and the M&E engine sets and launched into the AModel kits , all three of them, to my regret as you have already pointed out about the forward fuselage, but it is their appallingly poor decal colours that ruin the whole purchase as one has to go and get after-markets sets to complete them accurately. Having forked out around A$160 for the three kits plus over A$25 for the decals, I could have bought the entire production of AIrfix kits for that! Oh well, we live and learn and get poorer for the lesson!
