Thats the kit I plan building, nightmares already noted, and just to add to your misery the gap between the fuselarge and lower wing in seriously small. If you want a good Biff buy the Eduard 1/48 Profi, cost me £22 but well worth it. My favourite WW1 Airfix kit was the Roland CII, but the Hannover was nice too.

Note mold date 1957!
Airfix must have got their money out of this one!



1957? Wow, something older than me?!

Less than a week to go! Watch for the official campaign thread which will appear on the Kitmaker "Modelling in General" forum.

Just got the 1/32 Triumph Herald (first released 1967) - trouble is as I'm on leave this week there's no way I can wait until 1st September to start it. With 5 days to go I'll probably have finished it by then!

Hi Dave
Triumph Herald (first released 1967)
Molds and model lasted longer than the real old Herald rust buckets!

Oh gosh, SATURDAY , I haven't quite finished my Matchbox entry and I really haven't decided on my Airfix entry. I decided to use the P-61 for the Hunters in the dark, but there's still the floatless OS2U or the TBM.
