Post by keithjs »

Here's the latest offering from Airfix. And a very nice kit it is too. Decals are from an Xtradecal sheet. Thanks for looking.

Tell you what, Airfix are giving us some cracking choices and makes it hard to resist when they turn out as good as this!

Anything to watch out for when building this?

Yes indeed. Roll on the Sea Fury and P51. No, not really although a little annoying about the sink marks in the wheel wells. Fit is pretty much spot on but mine need a little tweak at the rear of the wing root fairing. Oh, and the engine side panels and nose fairing were a little bit tricky but then there are some interesting shapes around there anyway. Enjoy.
