Good fun though, these really do take me back to a wet Saturday afternoon in my childhood!

Hi Guy,
apologies for this bit of thread resurrection but as a newbie to the Forum I'm still discovering the hidden gems! I just wanted to add my two penn'orth and say that this is a fantastic build.
As for wet Saturday afternoons, that's exactly my memory - walking to the corner shop from my Nan's bungalow, all of five minutes away, to buy a Siskin in that lovely yellow and blue plastic, and then building it sat at the table while dinner cooked. Happy memories! I'm slowly collecting nice examples of some of the more meaningful/memorable kits from my childhood, and this kit is one of them.
I've recently bought another Siskin, but the box is a bit knocked about (as most are, of course) and some of the parts are off the sprues, so I'm going to build it
Not sure what to do about the markings as the kit decals haven't aged well. Hannants have Siskin-correct roundels in their Xtradecal range, and there are also correct-pattern serials available from Ventura and Modeldecal so a simple squadron marking that I can mask and spray is most likely.
Thanks for sharing your build, it's truly excellent.
Cheers,
Mark
