Was hoping to get some work done today... went trimming a tree in the front that took a lot longer than I expected... all afternoon... and even longer to clean up. It's now far too cold to work in the shed so no models or modelling until tomorrow...

-1°C yesterday, +12°C today. Bit more conducive to modelling in the shed.
Well. 2 hours done today. 40 mins of which was painting the crew.

I built this kit when I was about 10 years old, bought it with my pocket money from the hardware store in the village where I grew up. Big selling point back then where the foldable wings. Happy days!

Apparently that dark blue is correct. Seems pretty dark in the photo but I think it is that dark on the real planes.

The intermediate blue you mean?

Yes, the Humbrol intermediate blue looks very dark in the photo but I think it's probably correct.

A trip through memory lane, I was 3 when this came out 🙂
Looking through the foto's and reading the comments made me feel like that little kid butchering and smearing these kits, great stuff 👍🏻

Very handsome model Roy. I suspect the finest build of this kit ever made. Congratulations!
