Wow what a great restore project! Very nicely done Sir!

You've worked wonders here John. It looks fantastic - you'd never guess the age/state of the original.

[Gern]

That's beautifully recovered from the mess you started with!

I really enjoy seeing old kits built to a modern standard and brought up to date with modern techniques and materials. What takes this to a totally new level however is that fact that you had to return it to the basic kit before you could start, making this a superb build.


Beautiful job and so satisfying to see a lovely model built from something that many would throw away.

Great job on an old kit.And a useful tip about Fairy power spray.

That seems to be one of those diabolically fitting old airfix kits, but you have made it really well. Good job.
