This came in the mail today. I know, I know I'm a glutton for punishment, but looking at it it doesn't look like it's anything I can't make work. It sure won't just fall together though.

What was the state of the canopy - yellowed?

Yes it was. I was thinking about putting it in the window and trying to let the sun bleach it out like you do with a yellow decal sheet. Anyone ever try that?

May be I'm wrong, but I don't think it will work. Transparent plastic tend to became yellow if exposed to the sun so, in my opinion, you will end up with an even worse canopy.
Better to buy a new one, if available, or make a vacu-formed copy.

need to save some pennies for the Javelin Dogsbody !!!

 

[Lucky13]

Not sure about the Javelin, (maybe, not a huge fan..) more tempted to get the Sea Vuxen, but first....the new 1/72 B.II Lancaster and some ground equipment!
Next, a upgraded Buccaneer (to Airfix new standard) would be nice, or why not a Fairey Gannet! I'd deffo buy an Airfix 1/48 Gannet!
Airfix? Are you listening?

Yep, that's probably going to be next. Not too bothered about it, although I will get one. But it'll be around for a while yet, and the Spit and JP were at prices not to be missed, so grabbed them whilst I could!

Not in this lifetime mate....!
I'd be more successful, in a attempt to get protestant on the Papal seat!

 

[Lucky13]

Well....give me a day, or two, maybe three and I'll come up with an acceptable excuse, as to why I'm watching this one on ebay...besides that I will not pay £54 for a Hobbycraft kit and it's a bl**dy nice looking bird....

Wish me luck!

Does that include box and lid?

 

[Crimea_River]

..and the staples.

 

[Lucky13]

Forgot those!

 

[prem895]

Not much in the way of detail,but will look great on the outside.

 

[Lucky13]

Should I by chance get one, win it, question is....do her as a prototype, or as one in service later on....
White and shiny or camouflage, if....they'd have camouflage....
