I see a lot of dirt cheap 72nd Airfix kits on the web, like 3-5 dollars cheap, and sometimes I'm tempted to buy them up. But then I consider how much work it would take to make them acceptable and I have second thoughts. I know they have some pretty decent stuff in that scale, it's just a matter of finding the kits with minimal problems and giving them a heaping dose of TLC like you did. Again, excellent work.
These cheap Airfix kits are great to test and hone ones skills. If you can make an Airfix kit look good then you've arrived as a skilled modeler. They also force you to learn how to scratch build.

I simply can't help myself when is Airfix in question. I also like Matchbox, they have some realy good kit like B-17G, Bf 110C, Wellington and Wellesley - my favorite - they all have raised panel lines what looks better than their Buccaneer etc. New Airfix treads comes.
Btw if anybody wants to do engine that way, make it shore that those rods ahead of engine is shorter than that on photo - cca 1.5-2mm shorter or you could breake it.
