I decided I want something quick and simple for my next build, so this seemed a good bet. The kit is from 1976, so no idea of fit or finish. I think Airfix do this as a starter kit now? Anyway, two sprues, plus lower wings and canopy, and some decals. The kit is so old I had to use all my Google-fu to find conversion for the old Airfix "M" paints, then found I'm still missing some after buying the model colour case! Sheesh. So, late Luftwaffe paints on order, I can start to build...   |

Oh yes, those Airfix boxes, a step up from their bags, mainly pricewise, because they always did fit well.. or so I seem to remember... youth memories..
Nice one!

Forgot how tiny and fiddly this scale is. Still, pilot painted and cockpit primed.  |

And despite looking like some weird creature that's the fuselage glued.

Built this one years ago, I think it was even this issue.
Enjoyed it a lot so it's a trip down memory lane for me!

Fantastic! What a blast from the past! I love watching this come together! Way to go! Yeah, I know about small and fiddly, after all, this is my favorite scale. Welcome to My World!

Luftwaffe paints have arrived, and the clamps are off. Bit of masking and painting can start.  |

Dale, looking forward to this! It's always fun to build one of these older kits. I have always enjoyed some of the older Airfix, Monogram and Revell kits. Build like this can also be less stress than some Miniart and Meng projects that we are faced with now. |
