Geoff's got one.
Saw it about a couple of months ago...it looks very nice indeed, in fact, very VERY nice.
I haven't got one.....yet!

There's a couple of IP threads on Britmodeler

Can't find the other one right now, but there is a big step between the front and rear fuselage sections...other than that it looks cracking  B)

I take it that 90% of this model will be wrong as well :lol:

Got 4 in the stash and they look very, very good.

The kit is also broken down so that an export version is probably coming too.

Seriously, buy lots of them. A great kit with superior whiffing potential.

I'm just waiting for a bargain to show up prior to purchase.   Despite the number of whiffs possible with the airframe, putting spats on it might be a bit too much of a stretch for me.   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Frankly, the kit looks very very good.

It's on the bench at the moment, but has been pushed back a little bit - lovely kit  :wub: ,  but as Nev says take care with the step between front and rear ends

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
