Nice one Chris. I saw this on the FB page too. You've done a really neat job and brought out the best in the kit 8-)

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Very tidy job!
I have built one as an NF.11, so I know this is not a well-fitting kit, requiring quite a bit of fettling and patience.
That is why I have not raced on to do the 12 and 14.

cheers,

That's very nicely done. I think I'll try and find one at SMW if I can. I'll do it as a NF.14 but give it the 'NF.12 nose'

I think I have some conversion sets for them, too, James. Aeroclub ones. Any good to you?
So many models, so little time.

Super paint job, can't believe it was brush painted, it looks smooth and flawless. Top work on this CBK Chris.
