I thought I would get it out of the way and got on next year's naughty list early. A Christmas Day purchase that arrived today It's one I've been hunting for for a good few months... Airfix 1/72 E-3D Sentry AWACS. She's a big girl with approx 2ft wingspan. ![](https://i.ibb.co/b3HgpJ7/Airfix-1-72-E-3-D-Sentry-AWACS.jpg)

Have been watching this on our NZ version of Ebay for the last 2 weeks, couldn't resist the temptation. so it should be with me by the end of next week. I also ordered the resin wheel upgrade set from Super Hobby in Poland. Should have them by the end of January. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Ss9n5M0/Thaad.jpg)

I'll say good luck with that. I built one some 10-12 years ago and had some serious issues. First and foremost: check the fit of the upper wing roots. Mine had a 1/4 inch gap that had to be filled with 1/4 inch sheet styrene and CA glue. Took weeks of sanding to get it to look right. Then the painting issues which was probably mostly my fault. I should have left off the landing gear, gear bay doors and various other small breakables before painting since I had at least 11 parts break off while I was trying to paint this.
Just a heads up...
Great scores overall guys! I hope to have a few Christmas presents coming in soon.
