another of the kits needing restoration found in store recently,this was the last kit i started when i was 19 but never finished,it has survived very well as has the box with all the unfitted parts still present,pics to follow shortly once i've downloaded them from my phone,i'm finding it more fun restoring the broken kits than building the new one's,
pics of the condition of the model,i also found the box with the rest of the unfitted parts still there,pic 2 shows the damage to the front of the cockpit,
Looking forward to get the kit, it's still in its shrinkwrap! 8)
Just the Lancaster, Halifax (Airfix and Matchbox) and possibly their B-29 and I can have a nostalgia trip down Memory Boulevard!
Cool! In this case, I don't give a rats hairy arse, about accuracy etc., its all about going back to the good old days of being a snotty and cheeky wee lad...
'Aye, I've done the homework...! (As if!)'
Also, after some serious concideration and many hours of tough negotiations, with a fellow member south of Adrian's Wall, I've decided to skip Airfix 1/72 Blenheim for Frog's version, which will be a first as I've never build a Frog kit before.....think that they were gone before I started my plastic career, at least I never saw their kits in Sweden when I was at the first time....
That looks like typically wonderful box art by Roy Cross.
It's been sanitised nowadays,no bombs dropping or burning engines.
I'm in the process of building Revell's He 177 in the unusual for me 1/72 scale. The box art might not be up to the old Airfix standard but it's a very nice kit.
