Good one Karl. Hope that kit treats you better than the last one you tried.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

If memory serves, it was terry who had the biggest problems but he managed to cuss his way through it.

 

[Wayne Little]

Look forward to this one Karl.

Yes it was Terry with the old airfix kit, last time i saw it, it was on his side cabinet awaiting its wings !

Will be a week or so before i start this, i have a very minor hospital procedure on 21st and will be taking the rest of that week off work so probably start then.

Good to hear it isn't the same kit Terry was fighting with. That was my first thought when I saw you had picked the Buccaneer

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I like your new Signature Glenn.

Wish you well on the procedure Karl

 

[rochie]

Procedure on my blocked veins has gone well, pain free and plenty of free time for now !

Small start on this.

Assembled the front and rear seats.
Airfix strangly give you 3 seat frames ?

Painted everything needed in the closest grey colour i had for the cockpit and will put cockpit decals on tomorrow when this has dried.

Looks like this will be a kit of sub assemblies before it all comes together !

 

[A4K]

Glad the procedure went well Karl. Nice start on the kit too.

 

[SaparotRob]

That's great news!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Good medical news Karl, rest up and enjoy your week modelling.

 

[Snautzer01]

[Gnomey]

Good work so far Karl!
