I am going to attempt this over however
long it takes me. It does'nt look too trying
but if any of you guys have built it please
assist an old timer with it. Many thanks.
Kind regards all,

Built this many years ago and I liked the kit overall. Keeping the
wing perpendicular to the fuselage and the landing wheel struts
aligned are areas to focus on. Look forward to your finished kit. Lyell

Have have this in my stash, It's a bit old so I don't know if the decals are any good. I consider it a nice stage between monoplanes and the struggle with biplanes. Will you be hand painting or airbrush?

Well Iv'e built several bi-planes
now so I know how they can be!
I very rarely hand brush these days
Colin as I much prefer my trusty
airbrushes in spite of the pesky
after use cleaning!

Thanks Marek I'm having a few
problems getting started owing
to the fact that there is no paint
guidance in the box and I am going
to have to play this one by ear!!

well the sprues look quite good
with very little to clean up so
I'll see how it goes Chris. Maybe
if Airfix are doing one now it may
be improved on.

Good to see you back Mr. Pete. This will be a fun build to watch. I've had my eye on this kit for a while.

Re the painting instructions. Check the back of the box. Italeri sometimes print the painting guide on the box for some of their smaller kits.
Apologies if you already have and they're not there.
