About time I posted an updated bench .
Puma and Wessex for group build , Italeri F117 , old Airfix Hunter FGA 9 and Pioneer Su15 Flagon. The F117 is now decaled , just a few touch ups on the canopy to do .

How does the Flagon go together? Is it one of their better kits?

James , its not too bad , some sink marks around locating pins . Plastic is quite thick and has a rough cast texture , couple of coats of primer and a rub down should see to that . Other than that its quite a basic kit when compared to the new trumpeter one .I'm not moaning for £2.00.

Lots of cool stuff on the bench Shane, I could handle seeing more of the Flagon, I've got one of those PM ones.

Looking great

Cheers

Now that the Wessex and Puma are finished i'm going to crack on with the Flagon. I need to dig something else out to keep it company . I was thinking of a Matchbox E-6B Prowler or Voodoo.

I'd go for the Voodoo as it's the better kit.

Not much happening at the moment, some filling work on the Flagon intakes and wing roots plus started the Angel interceptor for the group build .

OK its a new year so I really should get some kits polished off. Lost the modelling mojo in the run upto Christmas so the Angel didnt really get any work done . Thats been put away for a rainy day . To get the juices flowing again I decided to dig out a couple of old Matchbox kits, the Hawker Tempest and Hurricane . Always seems to work in times of need! Also on the bench is the Su-15 ( still) mpc/ertl X Wing plus new mold Airfix Spit mk1 and Hurricane 11C.

You seem to have a lot on the go there Shane. Some very nice kits.

Happy memories of the MPC/Airfix Stars Wars kits as I got the box set of A, B, X wings and the Tie Interceptor for Christmas when about 10.
