Thanks for all the comments. I have to admit full retail price was not paid for any of them. I got around 25% - 30% off each kit (the joys of parents working in the local hobby shop owned by their friend
) I do indeed like the Tiffy it is certainly in my top 5 all time favorites
It has been a while since doing any builds I had given up modelling the early part of last year I only picked up the tools again for doing a build for Russell's memorial campaign. I had such a good time building that little Hasegawa Tony OOB I decided to carry on with some other part started builds. Latest completed kit was a Tamiya Gecko for Hanger Queen.
Just so happened the Tiffy's arrived when my bench had been cleared up ready for the next build.
Onto the build well what can I say a clear bench and some reference material to start with this morning. Love the instruction manual
What a wonderful kit, love the detail in it and can not wait to make a start on the engine.
I spent a fair amount of time filling and sanding injection pin marks yes I know they probably wont be visible when done but as its such a big kit I could not leave them as they were but thats just me at the moment. So really I spent many hours at the bench but not much to show for it but its worth it for this stunning kit I love it. There is a very little line/crack in the canopy but I think a quite micro polish and dip in Johnsons will sort it.
In the last pic I can assure you it is straight at 90 degrees as per the instructions it just got placed on the cutting mat
I have decided this one I am doing at the box art well as the squadron letter codes are CG I thought it was meant to be. Have decided when I eventually do the second one fully stripped down I will do the CG airframe again but in its role after Normandy and after its crash/forced landing after flak damage it was recovered and repaired and then used in a flight training school. The tail codes still the same but it lost the CG, became all over silver except the camo rudder.

), but time, space and prior modelling commitments just make this something to savour at a later date. By then, my efforts will probably be greeted with "Ohh - the Airfix Tiffie... yeah I remember it when it came out..." LOL! So, it's definitely going to be fun watching these first builds!
