George Norman Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Good Afternoon Gents, Decided for my next build I will drag this model from the stash, Made in my youth and I think the Torpedo survives in the spares box still! Of course I hung everything underneath it for max building Pleasure. Here are a few pics of the opening Ceremony I certainly don't remember the moving Ailerons and most defo did not get Seat Belt decals in the original kit. Kit bought in Toy Town according to the label....I'll never grow up!! Looking at the nett shops are asking for £17.00 Sweet lord!! Defo not worth that. After the pics were taken I ended up gluing the Fuselage together and sticking the Tail planes on as well. Wings were glued together, It is a pretty Spartan kit for detail! All the best. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
