Good start Nigel,very detailed engine there,so did you individually spray the parts held down with Bluetak first,then scrape off the surplus pain to assemble ?

I had never realised that anyone else was manufacturing 1/24th aircraft other than Airfix. I had a look at thier website and the kits look quite interesting.

I look forward to your build Nigel and will find it interesting to compare with the Airfix ones I have made over the years.

It's always tricky, picking out your nuts with Aluminium.

Richard these are far and away much better than the Airfix 1/24 scale (though i still love the hurri and the harrier) the scope for detailing is very immense
