        Apparently, can't remember where I heard it, that was it actually our propoganda that gave it that name......

          Hi Paul
          Great choice. As one of the newer Airfix kits it should be good to work with.

                  In my, small, experience, the new Airfix stuff is pleasingly 'shake 'n' bake', so interested to see how this goes

                      Told ya!

                      One, minor, trouble I have found with new Airfix is, being CAD, some parts have VERY tight fits in difficult places.

                              Looking good. For ages I never had any but had a bottle of black other and so used that instead.
