Hi all
This is the Italeri kit built straight out of the box. Build is not bad except the canopy of which the fit is appalling.
There were a couple of other down sides, firstly the cannons were molded with the wings and were bound to be knocked off so I replaced them with brass afterparts. Secondly the prop blades didnt look right, possibly a short shot, so I replaced it with a Quickboost unit.
As an aside if you are doing a series of different mark Vb's this kit is ideal as it includes the Vokes, Abouqir and standard air filters plus two types of rear view mirror and blunt and pointed spinners.
This build was done in parallel with the Hurricane Tankbuster as it shared the same colours and suffered the same problems with the paint masks. But saying that it did not fight me as much as the Hurricane.
Anyway here's the pics.....
And of course the scale shots .......
As usual, all comments and criticisms gratefully accepted
