Mav's Royal Navy GR.3 ------ DNF!

Post by IronMan129 »

After a week of work since the Glider I have decided to make the Harrier GR.3 my third Blitz build.
I got this kit from a friendly gentlemen at the IPMS Birmingham Expo a couple of weeks ago.
It would have been the second build but there was no canopy included and a friend is sending me a copy so as soon as thats here this build will begin.
In the meantime here is an overview of the kit:

Really?
I had no idea it was an unusual kit to be honest.
I only bought it because it was part of a deal of 3 1/72 Matchbox kits for £1!

I sent a canopy too. A week ago. Monday 15th, in the morning.
A canopy I posted to someone else on that Monday at 19.30 arrived on the Tuesday.

Haha yes it does seem so!
The first canopy FredK kindly sent to me was too big so I had to stall this build for the time being!
I have started a new post with the replacment build!

Someone who used to work in the local sorting office assures me that Royal Mail make no distinction between 1st & 2nd class stamps unless it is December. He never bought 1st class stamps.
