Yes, Daz, it's a very nice and neat kit, no problems so far and goes together well. Could be blitz material.
Progress so far.

Everything is on apart from the main undercarriage and the canopy which I'll leave until everything is done including the decals. I'm building the Airfix Hawk, which although as good as this, has seen the main u/c glued back about three times!!. That's why I'm leaving this one's off until last!!.

The 1/72 new tool Airfix kits really are pleasant to build, looks like you're flying with this one Mark

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

Why not!! :grin: , although I would have to order another one. Unless I go to Bedford next week while my school job is on half term. Goldings there have Airfix. Let's see what they have! :lol:

Decals going on. Only waiting for the Micro set to dry and then it's the canopy/aerial post, and the main u/c as she done.

Thanks chaps, I'm quite pleased with it too!!. I wasn't sure about the colour, Airfix said to use Humbrol 90 which is more green than grey!. Still, it seems okay.
