It looks fine to me. Nice and big for my clumsy fingers!
That isn't all the sprues, but you can get the general idea. Please excuse the Christmas tablecloths etc  |

Hmm, that is a problem. My Wife actually picked this up for someone to give to me and she didn't comment on how much space it will take up so, maybe, she has already conceeded a space for it. I wonder how much it will cost me to display the Airfix 1/24 Spit or the Monogram 1/48 B-29 when I get round to making them?  |

If it's the Mk.X/XIV I think it is James.
The one I'm waiting for is the Privateer to come out again:

Just picked up the Revell East Anglian Air Ambulance. I presume a portion of the price goes to this very worthy cause.

It's a nice kit isn't it? I've got the Revell one (not the East Anglia part) as the Air Ambulance around the Province uses these too. There's a conversion to correct the nose for the one I'm going to do, made by Whirlybirds I think. _________________ If I'm not model building, I'm riding my dirtbike |

| Found a very old Airfix Il-28 for 3.00GBP at the Ipswich Model Show. Sorry, I have no pics of the show, my batteries let me down, but there are some on Britmodeller. It was a very inspiring experience, there were some awesome models on display. |
