    Returning fist build - 1/72 Airfix Wildcat

    Hi......after a considrable amount of time, I have finally finished something !! This is the very basic Airfix kit, with the Eduard PE interior set ( made for the Hasegawa version, I think ), Squadron canopy and some scratch-built additions.

    Working with the PE and vacform canopies was a first for me, the latter of which took 3 attempts, and nearly cost me my eye-sight !!!

    But it was all good fun, and I'm quite pleased with the result. The base is the Verlunden one - I'm not that impressed with it tbh, but I may chop it around and make a proper mounting out of it.

    On to the next one...........so I'll see you around Christmas, then.................

          Eh now hang on, I regard myself as one of the slowest builders around here, but it looks like I've got competition - Welcome to my world !

          Anyway, nice clean model you've made there, old Airfix are not always the easiest to get a good result from but you've done well here.

          Regards

          Colin M.......

                  Thanks for the comments, chaps......all your work is a constant insperation!

                  Colin, I'm in negotiation with SWMBO to get a dedicated workspace, so your crown should be safe !!

                  Cheers, Neil

                      Well done,that's very nice and well worth the effort. Model building isn't a race (thank heaven!) so I'll be checking in for your next one.

                      Cheers
