A beautiful kit of a beautiful plane, what else could you ask for.
SBS Model has again excelled, issuing this jewel with great detail, precise fit and sensible engineering. A small photo-etched set, good instructions and a nice set of decals complete the package, all nicely tucked in a sturdy box that won’t be crushed in transit. It requires care of course when removing the resin parts from their pouring blocks, cleaning them up and checking the fit before committing. Beware of the smallish parts, don’t lose them!

That article will in turn have some links that will send you to others with historical information from contemporary publications, photos, etc.
It was a real pleasure to build this kit, and surely modelers will be delighted with it.
The engineering seems to indicate that other variants may be produced, and I am looking forward to them!
Another beauty! Tiny bit terrific! I meant to post a comment when you finished the model, but it slipped my mind. (The old Mk 1a memory banks ain't what they used to be, my firend!)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a nice build of a tiny beautiful thing.
