An oldie but a goodie. Built this kit about 45 years ago. As basic as it is, I wanted to build another one about 10 years back so I loaded up on goodies from Hannants. Then put off building it. So now I have a good excuse to give it a go.
The goodie bag and the onset of rivet sanding. The last picture of the tail there is a bump or raised area around the rear and front of the tail boom ? What was Airfix thinking ?? Does not exist on the real plane as far as I can see ?

More hacking and sanding on the Frankenohu. Flaps are cut out and posed down. The center flaps under the fuselage are going to be a bit tricky to do. Interior ribs and framing to hold the canopy in place have been added as well. I sort of wish I had bought the Italeri kit ot the ICM kit if it ever gets released but I'll stick with what I have ! Tired of sanding rivets though !
