Hi guys,
I built this for Si & Steve's GB, big thanks to both guys for arranging it.
I have really enjoyed this build, I got the kit last Christmas and have been dying to build it but made myself wait until the start of the GB. The kit itself was a masterclass in engineering, it fit together so very well and had some really neat solutions to avoid seams. My only complaint is that the decals were a little thick, if I were to build it again I would probably go with aftermarket decals. I painted it with Hataka lacquers (a first for me) and I will definitely be using them again in the future, they sprayed flawlessly.
I wanted to display this one in flight, slightly challenging as the kit isn't designed for this, so some scratch building was required for the wheel wells. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Anyway, enough waffling, on with the pics.
