Can You believe it ? I bought the Classic Airframes kit Mk.IV a couple of months ago, cost me north of 60 Euros with shipping and all.

Hi Tim

I hate to say it, but I was really looking forward to this kit... until I saw the trench-like panel lines. I'd like to think they are only a sign of a test-shot, but I fear they are there to stay.

Admittedly, the black wash in the test build doesn't help matters - but, Wow!, they look heavy.

All the best

Rowan
