Oooo! High end resin. Interesting . . .

regards,

Martin

High end resin does not imply high end finish so get your expectations down

Box art

Parts and instructions (will take pics of the parts tomorrow once they are de-bagged)

Decals, brass and vac canopy (again clearer pics tomorrow)

That rudder is like a large sail ....

Out of the bags and ready to start

Decals, etch and canopy

U/c in black resin (apparently stronger) and clear resin wingtip lights

Various detail parts including a myriad of rockets, two types of centreline rack and some very nice wheels

More weaponry, cockpit, flaps, tail plane, cowl and prop (many of the fan blades are gone as they are extremely fine, lot of scratching here

)

Fuselage and wings, nice interior detail

Biting off more than I can chew? Quite possibly

and yes J, just love that rudder

Looks like a very nice kit. It might tempt me into a resin foray.

If you think this one is nice you should see their Buccaneers. Working slowly on the cockpit at the moment due to a bad case of man-flu (why do women never understand the seriousness of this disease?

)

They are just not equipped (hopefully) to understand that it's not the coughing fit that is debilitating, it's the 'Klacker Effect' (anyone not at school in the '70s, just Google 'Klackers'!) that goes with it if you're wearing loose fitting boxers.

....Even worse if you are sitting at the time, and whilst you're borne aloft by the force of a sneeze, there is a certain anatomical 'settling of contents', and upon the heavy landing you 'Spacehopper' yourself

Cheers laughed myself into a coughing fit at that description

Now that the Klackers and Spacehoppers have eased (cheers PT) some pics

after washing and priming just to show the level of surface detail that I am bound to sand off ( dark area on fuselage to be removed to fit wings )

Dark base on the cockpit before starting

painting and detailing started on cockpit (thought the cockpit would be black but it seems the early aircraft had green interiors, although I have found no confirmation of that)

Thanks for looking

Last time I saw a bird with a tail like that, I was going out with her!

Seriously, though, I don't think I've ever seen one of these modeled, so I'm looking forward to seeing it!
