This is the reissued
old Airfix kit. The mold has some flashes and now cast in gray plastic.
Construction was fairly straightforward and the kit builds up well without much
difficulties.
Markings are simple as provided by the kit. overall the aircraft looks quite
large..at least for me when compared with others in 1/72 scale.
Enjoy the pics.......!
