It was a Legato resin kit that sat unloved and unfinished for years, probably the 12 years you pointed out.
A resin kit was probably not the thing to make your modelling comeback with.......a bad workman etc.
Anyway, I finished it and on to the next thing.
I'm siting in the Cafe at the Air Force Museum at the former RNZAF Base Wigram so something of a pilgrimage.
All the the Kiwi VC winner displays have been rotated out of public exhibition TFN. Very disappointing. I've done the Lloyd Trigg Liberator GR V and the Ventura II that Leonard Trent was flying over Holland, both in 48th and one of the next projects is the Wellington that Jimmy Ward did the aerial fire-fighting on for his VC.
Great place to visit.
