Looks great! I remember this was the first kit I made, only it was an Airfix one, this one looks good and I can't wait so see how it all turns out

Nice work Ian.

That cowling looks really good Ian, this

is coming along very well.

I'm interested to see how the wing guns go in - it looks a good idea to have them separately mounted.

A penny short of a tenner, there should be a prize just for the nearest to a tenner.

All looking very good. Nice engine. Being Revell, any ideas of the kit origins, or is it actually Revell ?

It is an actual Revell kit Colin It did say it on the wing until I sanded it off

You've done a great job of blending everything in Ian - looking forward to seeing it with paint on

Nice work Ian. The chipping on the cowl is effective.
