I don't expect it will be but then again isn't that the reason we build some of the kits we do? For the challenge?

Glad you didn't have to pay the high price. Excellent find to!
I don't mind buying a (Shall we say) "lesser kit" knowing all the work that will have to go into it but when the price rockets past that of a far superior kit and more readily available kit... I guess I got carried away because I hadn't seen on of those old Airfix kits. All I can say is Thank god for that bid sniper who took me out.

I'm hoping to get a few things off my bench and then I may start this one. Not sure yet but I got the itch

Cheers Dirk and Jelmer!
Asking as an aussie publication I have claims the Airfix kit is the better, while other sources claim the Matchbox (which I have sans canopy), and also as the Airfix was originally sold as the Seagull V (according to that aussie book), now the Walrus... (basically the same aircraft)
Btw, Dirk, not sure if you know, but the Revell kit is simply a reboxing of the Matchbox Walrus.
Nice score on the B-29 too. I'm pretty sure Eduard did a PE set for that.
Bob - happy belated birthday mate, and great presents! (it was my birthday on the 14th btw!
)

Oh I saw it Andy, but not until midnight! Don't think I could have beaten the 37 minute time between first posting and Terry jumping on it anyhow.
Happy B-day guys.

And no worries Cory, I have no doubt you'll find one.

About 7 years ago I came across an Airfix bomber double special in the now ceased Woolworths. It contained the B29 and B24 and I only paid about £12/$18 for it in a clearance sale.
Built the B29 about 6 weeks ago and it's now hanging from my sons ceiling with bomb bay doors open. Remember seeing oneabout 30 odd years and was impressed.
Nice kit but required work and plenty of filler. First bash with Alcad also.
