nice job !! i nearly baught this kit the other day ( it is definately on my to do list ) unfortunately nostalgia grabbed hold of me and i baught a 1/72 airfix p40 ( the old one in the gift set ) as it was the first ever kit i built as a kid

as it is 40 yrs pretty much to the day since i started modelling i think a reunion with my first built kit is due to see how i fare now to then ..

I can understand Your motivation, nostalgia is a strong thing, Today I spend the whole day trying to fix an old Airfix AEC Matador kit which was a gift from my granddad back in 1995 (it was the 50th anniversary of D-Day rebox). He pased away few years ago so I was hoping to be able to fix the Matador to have something to remind me of Him in the cabinet, but it was unreparable.

if you p.m. me your address i'm pretty sure i have an old red stripe airfix matador i'm not going to build you could have .

yep found it !! if your intrested p.m. me your addy !!
