I must be off my tiny mind trying something so small with my right hand but there you go, don't try it you'll never know will you My mate done a couple of these 1/72's at the club last week and I was so impressed with the detail I thought right for a fiver I can't loose can I? Paul was wondering how these Xtrakits build, well, we will find out Cracked it open today and got the inside ready for painting, got to say the detail inside is very good indeed for a 1/72 Got to say though they are very small if you're not used to this scale

I can spot a lot of detail from here.

Not bad is it Guy? There is hardly any clean up just a bit of flash to get rid of. I'll soon tell you about the fit when I start but first things first, get the inside painted

There's more cockpit detail, specially the side-walls, in there, than in most 48 scale kits

Agree Paul, panel lines are very good too, not raised like I thought they might be, ticking all the boxes so far
I will be doing a little camo paint job, not the silver as shown on the box
I've got a 1/48 in the stash, might see how this compares with that

Love the Mk.22, Robbo! One of the sexiest of the breed. Now, about those 72 scale rudder pedals.🤣🤣

Tape belts and close it up... No one will ever know there's no PE

Tape belts they will be, I'm pretty sure they will look fine through a canopy
