As promised in the chat thread, joining with this recent Airfix kit.

Receipt says that it cost me £9.89, on 19 Oct 2023.

I'll post a photo of the parts on 11 Jan.    See you then.

Excellent choice! :thumbsup:

 

I'm building that now. Needle files, sanding sticks, putty, and clamps are in the required tool kit. Evergreen strip and AFT Resin Panel Lines were also useful.

Hopefully some airbrushing when the weather warms up later today.

A day in the freezing shed, airbrushing, brings this preparation.

Some parts airbrushed Humbrol 22 gloss white,  others Humbrol 27001 dull aluminium.

Paint just doesn't want to stick to Airfix's modern plastic.

I blinked and missed the build Tim!  It looks very smart and a great first entry for the Gallery.

Great job! And so fast! I've wanted to build this ever since I was a kid - I must get my hands on it somehow.

 

I'm hoping that, having finished this so fast, you're in with another build before it's over?
