A few parts have been cut off the runners but no gluing or painting has been done yet.

I will be working away until the 23rd so will be a slightly delayed start from me.

Cheers

Well I never knew anyone made an injection moulded kit of the Argosy in 1/72!

I'm looking forward to this build

Oh, Mach 2 is the kit maker -- I was wondering how that thing could go that fast :shock:

I think this is fairly recent isn't it?. Was thinking of getting one but the memory of their Valiant still lingers. I did start a Frelon helicopter but it had to pause while a GB went on so still hasn't returned. Instructions were vague in a pone picture with lots of bits sort of way.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

Al, have you been sniffing the MEK again? A Mach2 kit in a month! Seriously though one of our local club members has been working on his and it means a lots of sanding and dry fit.
Best of luck, I love the old Brit load luggers especially in the black and tan schemes.

I know that Mach 2 have improved over the years but these is a big bite out of the modelling oeuvre. Good luck Al.

A Mach 2 kit? I have heard too many horror stories from the local IPMS. You are a better man than I.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!
