Airfix 109 A&AEE 1:48

Hi guys!

Just finished this one, and what a lovely kit this turned out to be! Everything fitted perfectly, with no filler, just a bit of seam filling tippex needed due to builder error... Dare I say it, but up there with Tamiya in terms of precision fit?! I have wanted to build AE479 ever since I saw a grainy air-to-air photo of her in an old book belonging to my late grandfather when I was a boy. Thank you Airfix for the chance to do so!

Here she is- I went for a slightly more weathered appearance- all of my reference photos show her absolutely filthy, so I have tried to replicate this as much as possible.

A really good finish and overall appearance on it Matt, good to see you back in the swing of things as well as you'll have to whittle down the stash before the baby comes along.

Too late- he arrived on Wednesday at 7:49am!!! I will still be building where possible, however, my next build is something completely different- going to have a stab at something maritime...
