I fancied building something basic and easy to restore my mojo after the lengthy Shackleton build.
Where better to come than a vintage kit?
The Westland Wyvern has always been a favourite of mine with it's mean, brutish look. This offering by Frog combines 1960s style kit simplicity and fun in equal measure.
The kit has a basic but adequate cockpit (little can be seen under the closed canopy anyway) basic exterior detail and raised panel lines. (Modelling heaven in my opinion...!)
My only changes to the OOB build were to open up the area the tail wheel retracts into and a little work around the exhaust ducts and main undercarriage struts.
The kit went together perfectly with no filler needed at all. The decals were from the kit.
A fun kit all round and a great way to restore the urge to build more...! ?
