My late Album with Airfix's P.1127 kit
HAWKER P.1127 - An AIRFIX 1/72 kit.

Scale:
1:72
Status:
Completed
Started:
August 12, 2015
Completed:
October 12, 2015
Time spent:
2 months

After a week spent for searching & watching the most pics
I got from the Web about this machine...now I am starting
the building of my new project:
The first P.1127 prototype XP-831, by AIRFIX.
Very complicated task, ‘cause the kit LOOKS LIKE a Short Run.
It has nothing for interiors, for the cockpit [ it's just a poor seat ]
undergear and power supply turbine wells,
and crude gear and wheels. Thus,
in a moment of madness..I've decided to go for an all
out effort on this ancient [AIRFIX released it in 1963]
Hawker P.1127, 1/72 scale kit.
Legend tells of rivets like barnacles, whimsical details
and parts that lightly caress each other, rather
than fitting like gloves. ))
I shall fear nought though, for my arms to slay this beast
will be plasticard, Milliputt, plastic rod and strut together...
..with the shield of beer drinks cans. [written in AUG 12nd, 2015]

2 months spent for building an old Airfix kit. A lot of work, a lot of satisfaction.
