Wow! That looks great! How did she go together? Been thinking of getting one of these. Going for a flight in one next year!

Cheers chief it went together really well
Nicely thought out kit, even gave you a rigging map
Well recommended, Airfix have done a great job

Cheers for the info. Looks like another one for the list! Love these new airfix kits, great value!

Nice looking kit. What clear coat are you using?

That came together nicely! Looks like another kit from Airfix that helps redeem their bad rap!

Great little model! The paintwork looks nice.

Thanks folks appreciate the comments

The clear coat I use is Humbrol Clear, so far found it very good.
