    Not a bad kit I suppose considering its age, but not very well built or painted, partly due to me being ill near the start of the build. The worst thing I can blame on Airfix is the canopy, which had almost no visible framing, isn't symmetrical, and doesn't fit the cockpit very well.

    A very difficult kit due to its age and associated problems, but you've turned out a good result Pete.

      Nice result non the less Pete, I would be happy with it.
      Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
