Well, this took a lot longer than I would have liked, but we're finally here. I am not displeased with the final outcome
The Amodel 1/72 Hawker Hector, K8143, C Flight, 4 Squadron (AC) Farnborough, February 1937
The Hector was the last of the Hart family of light bombers, and the only one not fitted with a Kestrel engine variant, but a Napier Dagger. The Hector replaced the earlier Audax with the Army Co-operation squadrons, until itself being replaced by Lysanders. The Dagger was used as there simply weren't enough developed kestrels to go around, and the engine proved unsuitable for Empire service. 613 Squadron Hectors saw action in defence of Calais during 1940
AModel kits are, frankly, pigs to build - vague, or even wrong, placement of parts, and almost complete lack of locating pins and holes. Still when they're all there is, you have to do what you can
Now I'm going to build a Bandai snap-together model!
