Ahhh……………….the immortal 'Stringbag', nice one KoJo.

Great choice Kevin!

Looking forward to seeing how the Airfix kit compares with the Revell/ Matchbox kit.

Never seen a stringbag built, I am looking forward to it!

 

[KoJo]

I even have a 1/48 Tamiya Stringbag in a box too. The Airfix kit is a joy to build but does take time even in 1/72 scale.

 

[A4K]

...And a bugger to paint, due to all the struts! I built the Revell (ex-Matchbox) kit.

 

[Wayne Little]

Look forward to seeing this one!

my fave choice so far

 

[Airframes]

Nice one. Is this the 'new tool' kit, with the wing fold option?

 

[KoJo]

New tool with wing fold, but I will have the wings spread on this one.
