The dark side is stronger than you can possibly imagine :twisted: mwahahahaha!!

Cheers Dirk

I have now toned down the weathering and started to add parts off the Airfix kit, I'm now getting to the stage when I might not still be able to call it a star fix kit :ha:

Not a bad thing. :mrgreen:

I'm loving this build more and more. The weathering is really effective and adds realism here. Splendid work with this fixing star, Alan! :)

Perhaps you could call it a Stairfix kit.......


Better tread carefully, or I might get a riser out of someone.....

I like it :ha: :ha: :ha: .

I know there is no way you could call this a good kit, but it has got potential when you cross kit it, I'm thinking it would look good as a Coast Guard Pelican in white and red or how about using the nose extension to make an S-61?

They drive on the wrong side of the road over there you know. Add a nutter on a jet powered pushbike to that and there would be big trouble :ha:
