John Masters Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 OK! Back at it! Some more from 19 Sq. and a relatively new kit from AZ Model. First blush looks alright. I'll get into it later this week. Pretty box art... Clean looking plastic parts and decals... And a simple profile to manage... --John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfa1983 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I will definitely be interested to see how this comes together John. I once built AZ model's Tunnan and was dismayed by it (I think mostly when compared with the price) Hope this one is a bit more gentle on you!

Thanks area...I have built many AZ Model kits and while some have been a challenge I have yet to bin one (I think...). I am familiar with their engineering idiosyncrasies. I have solid hopes for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntPhillips Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Nice kit, but definitely not a Century Series 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Pardon @AntPhillips? It’s a 103. Isn’t that the criterion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngantek Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I believe the GB is for the specific set of US century series as listed in the rules. Anyhow, looking forward to this build. I was going to do a parallel build with the Special Hobby version and this tool at some point, so keen to see how it turns out. Plus always like to see a hornet!

modelling minion Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Oops! Never mind John, mistakes happen. Looks like a nice kit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I like the looks of this kit. Might have a sniff at one point. There is also a set of markings for a 19(F) Sqn Hornet on the Xtradecal X72124 History of 19Sqn RAF Decal sheet. I note you have the Blue and Cheque Fighter Bar for the Sqn on your Sig Block, whats the story there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying my best to build all of the 19 Sq. aircraft from the beginning to the end. It all began with the Hawk STGB a while ago. I built the commemorative aircraft for the GB. Then I decided to do the whole history, or as much as I can. I'm enjoying it. If you search for '19 Squadron' here on the forum you'll see my builds. Sometimes they are piggybacked with other GB but since it is a Personal Project it doesn't cross the line. I have quite a few Spitfires left to go, some other post-WW2 Cold War aircraft...I am looking forward to the Farman Shorthorn, which was the first aircraft they flew in France in 1915. No distinctive markings, however. I will be including a 19 Sq. Meteor in the upcoming STGB. That's the story. No personal connection if that's what you were thinking. 1 hour ago, modelling minion said: Oops! Never mind John, mistakes happen. Yep!

The Hornet is a great subject, just not a Century Series, look forward to seeing your build in another thread Happy modelling Ant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, Just interested, but as good a reason as any though. Enjoy the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
