And this is what happens when you give the Senior Service a perfectly good aircraft - they make the wings all wibbley wobbly and shove a hook up it's arse.... :P
The Airfix kit with added Eduard etch. A fairly straightforward build, but those wings were a bit of a pig to assemble. Pretty happy with the result, hope you enjoy :smiling3:

Well Neil they may have made the wings wibbley wobbly but there's nothing wrong with the build. Fantastic work.
And my I wish you a Happy New Year.

Superb work Neil. I'm guessing you're not a big Navy aviation fan? :tongue-out:

Not an aircraft person but this kit holds a special place in my heart. I believe it was the best aircraft I ever finished, it is a stunning kit. You made a cracking job of this.

Fantastic job! We're the folding wings part of the kit, or was that some clever scratch building? Either way it's a beautiful job!

I'm not against them at all, Joe....just wish they'd leave the proper aircraft alone ;)

I wish I could take all the credit, John, but it's basically how it comes out of the box, with a sprinkling of Eduards finest over the top ..... ;) As Graham has eluded to, it's a lovely, simple kit. If you have any interest in the subject, I'd heartily recommend it.
