One of...if not the first model I ever built in plastic form many many years ago back in the late 50's...It is still a beautiful plane, in fact I would go as far and say that it is a flying work of art!! Great to see it return to where it was made...  Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...

Think its one of only two airworthy Mk1's in the world, and seem to recall it underwent restoration in 2003 to bring it to this point
