Hi all
This is a project that was started some time ago and has been put on the backburner so many times I have lost the the original progress shots.
Here's the original model.....

The Heron in the background has already been restored.
So here is the brief, I want to resurrect the P1 using as much of the original as possible but I also want to make it a bit more presentable.
So objectives
1. Try and rescue the canopy
2. Cut out the forward blanking plate and move it backwards so it is less noticeable
3. Cut out the cockpit and pilot head area and add a proper cockpit/pilot
5. Add some jet pipes and and additional blanking plate at the back
4. Recreate the undercarriage and doors
And the story so far......
It has been taken apart (sort of, Mog the Younger was very generous with the glue in those days) and some of the replacement parts have been sourced from an incomplete Lightning kit.

The forward blanking plate and cockpit have been cut out and I am working on the cockpit detail, based around a Lightnig F6 seat and console

The canopy has been revived somewhat but it's far from good, I will tack it place temporarily until I can source a decent part or attempt to mold one

I have a lot of surface faults to clear up, mostly caused by myself trying to weaponise the aircraft for wargaming, but also some kit faults like those ejector marks on the wheel doors and fine raised lines where the decals should go.

This is gonna take a bit longer than I thought
Thanks for looking.......
