Now that is awesome. 90p and you have a model which could rival many new build kits. Simply great work. I think this is the 1976 kit. It was released again by Smer and Aurora as recently as the 2000's!

Nice one. You've done a great job with a kit that isn't exactly state of the art. Good colour scheme too, and the light wash to pick out the control surfaces has worked well.

Thanks for the comments, luckily none of you noticed the oil radiators had been knocked out by 'helping hands'. Just ordered some EZ wire to have a go at the control and radio wires, tried stretched sprue which didn't work :sad:

Next up is something German either a Bf109-g6 or a Ju-87, or maybe a Jap for the group build.
