Well, after that truly awful apology for a kit that was the Zhengdefu Leopard, and in response to Chris' vote, this should be more satisfying - the Airfix 1/72 F4F Wildcat. According to Scalemates this was a new tool in 2015, and so must be the most recent kit I've built! Here's the box and sprue shots:
Some cleanup needed, but nicely recessed detail:
It's a Starter set, so comes with a couple of Humbrol brushes, which I don't find much good for painting with, but they're fine for Microsol, PVA, etc., and 6 colours of paint. I know many people don't like these small pots of paint, but I've found them OK, especially for small areas.
The instructions seem clear, helped by some colour:
There aren't as many decals as my Hornet build!
You might be able to see in the sprue shots that they're almost dripping with release oil, so I'm off to the kitchen now to wash those sprues.
See you later,
Pete
