Its not often you go to stage 40 to start a new model ..but I thought I'd ease myself in gently ..by cutting out and sticking together the tail booms. And then it occurred to me that it might be interesting to check the fit of the major parts and stick the whole together to get some idea of how this is going to look when finished. I wonder if anybody will have a resin radar ready soon to fit in that lovely space under the nose radome..Lovely fit and feel to all the parts, excellent engraved lines - it was hard work though getting the parts off the sprues and then trimming them up. Click on the pics if you feel like taking a closer look
Welcome to my blog! I'm an aircraft enthusiast, ex-Air France ground crew, published aviation author and humble 'kit assembler'. As my friend Mark says, 'I just like models'. I attend a couple of clubs regularly and do try and post here as often as I can. Still on the bench is the new-tool 1:48th Airfix Jaguar GR.1
