      Hi Peter
      That's a great result. The kit goes for silly money. It's nice to see one built rather than just "collected".

          Stunning,

          I did this, the original version, many years ago, and might looked nowhere as gorgeous as yours does..

                If you do get an early boxing as this one needs a lot of work.

                  This is absolutely beautiful, Peter.

                  Is there a build thread? I'd love to know more about that chrome finish - looks superb. Is it straight out of the box, or your own work?

                    That's turned out beautifully.

                    Very well done indeed!!!! A top finish.

                      It's straight out of the box the chrome was so thick it would have taken a miracle to remove it.
                      And build thread is here

                      The above link is for the reissued kit if you are interested compare this one with the original airfix issue.
                      Build link is here.
