airfixpeter Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 This will be my last in the queue and I think I have built this one before but a very long time ago. Buts here's my offering. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Another great choice Pete,these kits are over the £50 mark now and hard to track down at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 The big Lizzy is a great addition Peter and a kit that I will eventually be joining you with, when I get a chance to photograph mine. I'll be watching to see how you get on with it, let's hope we can both bring them home to a standard we are both pleased with. Cheers, welcome aboard and best of luck..

Adrian Hills Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Put a turret on it ! You have a choice of one on the back with an entirely different empenage or a dorsal one as mocked up, of which there are pictures 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I went back and built the Revell rebox a few years ago, having built the kit when it originally came out. It's a beauty. The thing that really needs care is the cross piece that the wings fit on to. There's not a lot of gluing surface there and there's not much by way of positive location. I used Plastic Weld on my most recent build to make sure everything stayed where it should. John. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Good choice! I've got happy memories of this kit, I think I got it for Christmas, best part of 40 years ago. Good luck with the build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Looking forward to this one and Dave's build too. Got the same boxing too. I will be looking to do a TT version. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airfixpeter Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 After a few weeks of chaos ie: new heating system being installed I am now back to normal so it's time to make a start. I have purchased some airscale decals and here's the instrument panel. I forgot this one. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 A great start Peter, the IP and rest of the cockpit are beautifully done. I'll have to get me a set of those decals, that's just too good. Cheers and nice progress.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattheCat Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Nice start with the IP and side panels. The Lizzie is my favourite high-wing plane so I'll lean back and enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airfixpeter Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Don't be surprised if I go quiet for a few weeks as I have a winter virus that's knocked me for six as I have zero appetite for food and all I have managed in the past few days is drill six holes and that took all my brain power and energy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I wish you well and a quick recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airfixpeter Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Started on the pilots seat. I have found a problem when I went to put the seat in I found it sat to high up. And after a bit of butchering it's a bit better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
