So here we go, my first Group Build!
Bit nervous! The pressure is on! Don't want to be a DNF.Had a good clean up of the workbench before I started, and this is what I will be tackling, the Airfix 1/72 North American T-6G Texan/Harvard.
First impression upon opening the box is that this is not an Airfix kit! I believe it's a Heller tool. No pilot figures gives it away, aaargh! I like pilots in my planes, it adds a sense of realism for me. So job No. 1 was to rummage in the spares box for two dudes. Got them now, I had to slim them down a bit around the hips to get them to slip into the bucket seats, next job is to paint them.
The choice of colour schemes in the box is quite varied, South African, Swedish or Austrian. Not keen on the Austrian because it's all yellow and I recently did a Norseman like that, so it's down to South African of Swedish. I am leaning towards the South African as it's colourful (but looks like a masking nightmare! I don't like masking......
). Also, the box art is wrong, the big numbers on the side should be in a yellow box not an orange one, fortunately the decals inside are correct though.More later guys!
, and I like pilot figures, but I managed to find a couple of dudes in the spares box 
(origins unknown) but they needed a bit of surgery on the hips to slim them down so they'd slot comfortably into the bucket seats. They were painted up and dropped in along with the control stick thingies and now I'm happy with the interior.
