Picked up this kit from the shop at Old Warden during an event there about 4-5 years ago - sadly just too windy for the WW1 aircraft and replicas to fly.
The kit is a newish box but looks to be an old tooling. Poor quality plastic and lots of issues such as flash and ejector pin marks - even part numbers embossed on some parts. Apart from a few on the side panels, this kit isn’t worth the effort of removing all the defects. That can be done, but I would rather put the extra effort into a better kit
Still, it’s turning into a passable model as a shelf-sitter rather than a close up photo shoot. You could call it a polished turd.
Anyway, much of the structure is done apart from touch up and finishing, the upper seats, rear end stairs, wheels and a few peripherals. Still quite a bit of work to do..
