Nice one Darren
Welcome to the wonderful world of Aeroscale! This kit does look seriously tempting! And just when I've blown my savings buying a new PC! Ohh - my poor wallet...
I'm looking forward to following your build.
All the best

Yes, Nice review Darren
I might be picking one of these up at Telford, Meng are, I believe, one of the sponsers so there is a good chance that there will be some of these up for grabs and at a knock down price, I hope

Darren, Quite a nicely detailed review. Looking forward to following your build. The model is small enough that space conscience modelers like myself, shouldn't have that issue with the Meng offering.

Darren, this is a nice, thorough review. I'm interested to see how the etch instrument panel works. It looks like it provides some extra depth.

Thank you all I hope to get the build going on my return from Telford.

Darren,
Are you an IPMS member? If so how come you aren't an IPMS Kitmaker member Of course you don't have to be but do come and visit us at Telford (Bulldogs) and come and visit me at my trade stand
We could do a group build and I could supply you with paint masks, that is unless you want to demonstrate how the kit decals work?
