airfix 1/72 fairey battle
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2014 4:03 pm
hello all!
this is a kit i built last year, but a couple of days ago i realised that i actually had no pics of my finished model! so today i took advantage of some half decent weather, and took some photos outside.
hope you like!
the wing roundels were from an aftermarket set, whilst the fuselage and tail decals were robbed from a MPM battle kit i have that has three decal options,and one handily enough, is the same as the airfix boxing. also the wing machine gun barrel came from a scrap/spares lancaster i have, as it had a better shape the the kit supplied one.
one thing i found when building this is, that if you want the gunners window open, you need to move the seat further towards the back, otherwise the gunner has the tilted window right in his lap!
