Well thats it, I am calling this done! It was a fun build, but I have to say Airfix will not be a choice I would make again, although I have some in my stash that I will build as I have them. The fit of the parts was poor, instructions very vague in more than one place and the decals are really brittle. But considering its my first aircraft since I was a teenager, I am pleased with it. Here is a teaser for now, I will post better pics up later. Thank you to all that looked in and commented, its by no means my best build, but it was a learning experience after so many years, and I would quite happily build another aircraft.

But what a great end result of one of my fav aircraft, well done and good luck with the BotY 2016 entry

I know someone near me who would be interested in looking at this one, as they are obsessed with this plane, along with the now retired Vulcan. Nice build
