thanks Marco. I did built the airfix kit when I a kid, and surely it was still cheap to buy model kits with pocketmoney

Thanks Adrian, but it is notthing out of the ordinary. There are still a couple of aftermarket sets that I did not include in this build

by ''out of the ordinary'' i meant... a build you do not see every day, other than usual spits, hurricans, bucs, ww2 ZzzzZZzzzz etc

first layer of paint roughly applied, just wanted to see how the colors look, green - blue, and I must say they do look good next to each other.

The JFenech modelling machine in full swing! Prosit Guz!

Ivan and Mr Ray, thanks for your comments.

p.s. machine in need of a big overhaul, seriously

Looking good already.
