Not the best of kits needs a lot of work I only chose it because I fond memories of doing the catering at Exeter Airport in the early 2000s.
Given another go I probably would do better.
Excuse the decals at front they wouldn't meet.
I sitting on a bit of a blutac as it's a tail sitter. IMG_20220426_091540.jpgIMG_20220426_091525.jpgIMG_20220426_091520.jpgIMG_20220426_091503.jpgIMG_20220426_091446.jpgIMG_20220426_091440.jpg

Hi Peter
Eastern Express kits are often pretty poor but can be the only game in town. Despite issues this looks very nice. You have the skills and experience to cope but a beginner attempting this kit may well be put off the hobby for life :rolling:

Rarely do we see vac formed kits built so should be interesting.

Nice job :thumb2:

Good luck with the vac form version. Not something I’ve ever been brave enough to attempt having a go at :anguished:
