Now that is quite special. I don't know why I am always surprised when Airfix do a good job, but they look like they have pushed the boat out on this Drool Drool

It will be interesting to see what the aftermarket boys do with this. there is quite a lot of typhoon etch about just needs scaling upBigGrin

It's one of those really difficult decisions to make.

Do I buy it for future building or hold off only to find it's limited edition like so many of their other wonderful kits and becomes unavailable

Fingers crossed for a moderate win on the lottery this weekend Confused

Happy modelling
