That looks like a huge improvement over the original Airfix Baufighter.

Nice subject choice, Rodolfo! Especially keen to see No. 404 as the markings decision 

That looks like a huge improvement over the original Airfix Baufighter.

I kind of liked the surface detail on the old Airfix Beau ... after a bit of a rub down for the rivets 

The parts break down on this new kit is very clever. Having a separated tail and belly panels gives Airfix plenty of options for future variants

Having built one of those myself, I can confirm. The older kit isn't awful, but this is a substantial improvement. Looks like a great build so far.
