Siskins done! Very pleasant little build and I'll be looking for another one. Enjoy.






Do we need pics in the campaign gallery?

Squeaking in under the wire! Aren't you glad this wasn't a race?

That looks so different once the top wing goes on It would look really good beside my Fury from the Matchbox campaign.
Yes, pics in the gallery or it didn't happen

thanks for the comments and to all those who helped and advised on little details.
Pics uploaded in gallery.
Its been a great campaign and I've loved seeing everyone elses builds.
Inspiring stuff! I do plan on getting some more RAF Inter-war bipes
after this to use up those really nice decals. I've already got the
Airfix Bulldog. Your Fury was pretty good Jessie and I am on the
lookout.
The Siskins unusual for a British plane in having a smaller lower wing.
Something you only usually see on a Nieuport. With any luck Revell will
reissue this kit in the new year. I've seen pics of Siskins in lots of
other colourful squadron markings that are just screaming out to be
modeled!

Stephen,
Nicely done, and a very pretty little beast. Some of these older kits can be a real challenge; you "done this one well"!
Cheers,
Lance
