    Pete's Airfix 1/24 Mk1a

    Here's my offering a kit we've seen many a time and needs no introduction other than mine is the 1991 boxing it's going to be out of the box other than some edaurd seat belts. Click image for larger version

      I built that back in the 70’s. It was a nice kit back then and I hope the 1990’s release resulted in decent moulds. I hear that there are a lot of signs of wear on later ones.

        Hi Peter
        A biggie. You'll need strong string to hang that from the bedroom ceiling :tongue-out3:

          I can't put anything on the ceiling as it's concrete and plaster.

              To start I want to display the engine as I know that you can't close the fuselage with the engine in.
              And it looks like someone has already had a go at it so I have picked it apart and I will see what I have when I put it together. Click image for larger version

                              Managed to get it sewn up and a dry fit of the engine panels. Click image for larger version
