Pete's Airfix 1/24 Mk1a

[peterairfix]

Here's my offering a kit we've seen many a time and needs no introduction other than mine is the 1991 boxing it's going to be out of the box other than some edaurd seat belts.

 

[Geoffers]

Good luck with your build Peter

Geoff.

I built that back in the 70’s. It was a nice kit back then and I hope the 1990’s release resulted in decent moulds. I hear that there are a lot of signs of wear on later ones.

Hi Peter
A biggie. You'll need strong string to hang that from the bedroom ceiling

I can't put anything on the ceiling as it's concrete and plaster.

Gert big ‘un going on here…….what’s not to like…..

 

[peterairfix]

To start I want to display the engine as I know that you can't close the fuselage with the engine in.
And it looks like someone has already had a go at it so I have picked it apart and I will see what I have when I put it together.
And the prop has already had a go at and has some nice sink marks.

 

[peterairfix]

All those engine bits have produced this witch I am more than happy with.
And the prop is finished.

 

[Ian M]

thats looking a bit better now Pete.

 

[Jim R]

That's coming on nicely.

 

[adt70hk]

[peterairfix]

Lots more work done.

Looking really nice so far.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Excellent progress Peter.

 

[peterairfix]

Managed to get it sewn up and a dry fit of the engine panels.

Top stuff though!!
