Armstrong Whitworth FK.8. 1/72 Pegasus kit
« on: August 30, 2022, 11:13:00 AM »
This kit was a lot of fun to build.  Parts are very detailed and measurements add up well against the Windsock Datafile plans.  My only reservation is the wide white outer ring on the upper wing cockades. These are from an Americal Gryphon sheet.

Another interesting subject. Given what you probably started with you have turned a sow's ear into a slik purse.

Tim,

I’ve gotten that kit out, looked at it, then put it back on the shelf so many times.  Congratulations on a superb build of a challenging kit.

Very nice one, I specially like the transparency effect of spars and ribs under the wings.
