Thanks chaps. It was mostly built in a couple of days(can't remember if it was a weekend), but ballsing the canopy up, and some of the paint peeling off, added a few more days. There's definitely fun in keeping it simple

My sister got me this starter set for Christmas and I decided to build it as the Airfix gods intended, with the included paint. The kit pitot tube was huge, so I used a piece of brass instead. I also added a gunsight, which you can kind of see, and the aerial wire. The paint was very thick, so I thinned it with some Pledge and it went on fairly well; though it was very easy to damage. Unfortunately, by the time I'd messed up painting the canopy twice, it has dried out completely. I found a tin of Humbrol enamel from my childhood(20 years old and st

Looks to be $2.50 Canadian.

Well she's looking very pleased to see you.

$6.50 Canadian, which is about £3.87. Pretty good!

I've now looked through all the 1960 issues just in case it was in a later one. It wasn't.

Unfortunately there's text but no photo: This is the April 1960 issue.

Just went for some masks in the end, that way I can't be told off for buying more kits

Oh it wasn't me that ordered it since it wouldn't let me add it to the cart. I'm still browsing

Sorry to hear things aren't going well. I thought I'd order a couple of things, but this FW-190 can't decide whether it's in stock or not.

After some searching I found it was the Beagle Basset which I'd read about getting new clear parts: https://uk.airfix.com/community/blog-and-news/workbench/beagle-b206-basset-designed-take-world

I'm sure I read that somewhere too.

Oh that's a shame. You can't capillary action some superglue into the crack?

Mine is the 1/72 Airfix Nimrod I bought off @RWG686 the other year. Probably going to do it as XW666 'The Beast' Really want to do it justice though, so I'm honing my skills(I hope).
