Benevolens Magister
Thanks very much indeed chaps, it's overwhelmingly appreciated!
And thanks for the 'sticky' Charles.
Yes Jelmer, as mentioned in the text, the kit originally dates back to the early 1960s, and was quite advanced for the time, the turret guns in particular being commented on in modelling magazines of the period (there were only about three mags in those days!). This issue is from 1991, and apart from a few sink marks, has held up well.
The Stirling was the last of the 'Big Three' released by Airfix, in the late 1960s, and caused a stir with the inclusion of the DB tractor and bomb trolleys - seems I've started something here, so good luck Jan and Bob!
I'm currently painting the interior bits, and will post pics when there's something to show, probably tomorrow. Thanks again for the complimentary comments.
