It's my first post, so be nice
Pretty pleased with this, especially with the paint job, as I was expecting it to look shocking.
Comments and criticism appreciated. Cheers.

Nice work Maxwell, the finished product is spot on. Is that the Revell/Germany 1:48 offering? I have that kit and wanted to know on your experience with the kit (how did it come together ..any pitfalls to keep and eye out)?

Thanks It's only my second model, so I'm not really sure what is expected, but I think the fit of the two halves of the fuselage was pretty bad, it took ages to get it right, and the cockpit, especially the seat, is poor (the seat didn't really fit at all) and the canopy wouldn't sit flush because the seat was too high, but like I said, it might just be me. The detail is good though, I couldn't fault it, and the different combinations of weapons and decals is good too. Good luck with it.

Hi Maxwell, nice one. And really well done, keep it up, awesome start!!!!

I built that one as well and I thaught it a real pig to build. Dryfitting should come as naturally as breathing with this one, as well as puttying and sanding.

When it's done, it's nice, though, as you very well proved!

Greetings!

Thanks! I did dry fit most of it, but by the end I just got impatient I've not used any putty or done any sanding on this one, but I've built an Avro Vulcan (my first model), and I did with that. I'll put some pics of that up soon too.
