Re: Airfix 1/72 Boston AL496
That has turned out really well for such an old kit. I would never have guessed that this was the Airfix offering. The buildings in the background are also effective.

Excellent job; you've made an old and not so good kit look really good
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Nice work on the Boston, Ratch. I also like the background diorama you have. Is that also in 1/72?
Re: Airfix 1/72 Boston AL496
Yes (1:72/1:76), it's the Airfix Control Tower (slightly converted) with Amera & Flightpath Nissen Huts and there's a Wills Pill Box in therePropWash wrote:Is that also in 1/72?
