Skybirds '86 1/72 scale DH Hornet F.3

[RJP]

I'm in the midst of a stash clearing exercise and came across an example of the Skybirds '86 Hornet F.3, a gift from my late brother.

 

It's long past time I built this kit and I was wondering if there is anyone hereabouts who had ever done one and might have any pointers to share?  I've done the usual googling and come up with a few ideas but there's little first hand knowledge online.  The company ceased trading a long time ago, before this internet thingy really took off!

 

Thanks in advance.

Built one a looong time ago.

Top tips include -

Take your time and follow the instructions

Time spent fitting parts before assembly will be well rewarded

Don't display the finished model as normal for any length of time or you'll end up with bananas for undercarriage legs - store it on it's back with the legs in the air
