I think it's a fake - bears little resemblance to the Airfix kit!!

Seriously though, that's a great collection of details shots and much appreciated in this little part of down-under...although I am now starting to feel twitches of AMS in regard to the next single kit GB if the Hampden is selected...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

I surmise that it will probably end up in the hands of a private collector eventually.
Well, it may mean that funds will be available for a complete rebuild Brews.

The photos are really good and it shows just how cramped these early bombers were. Imagine this frame but with men and equipment squeezed in. It must have been a bloomin' tight fit.
So many models, so little time.
