Usual Checking, washing and primer so it's ready to start in March. 😀

I remember doing this kit when I was a kid in the 70's. It was mind-blowing back then.

All washed, one of best tips I was given. Always have zip bags handy, for the clear parts and another for what broken off the sprue. 😀

Making hay while the sun shines. Mustang now all primed 😀

Watching with interest. Was an electric motor included in the set?

Steve Zodiac Аутор
Yes, I have put a photograph up of it. But not sure if I use it, not put a motor in before 😀

Robert Podkoński
Thanks for your reply, Steve. I've seen the photo, but was not sure if it is something from the kit, or sold separately...

Mr D
Like this "Super Kit" l didn't recognise it as Airfix at first glance,
Be nice to have the motor to honour the originality of the Super Kit.
Good luck with it .....like your garden 😃👍

Hi Robert, apon reading the original instructions, I found the instructions to install the engine, but it says if you buy one so maybe your right with sold separately. All I know it was a return to my loical model shop and has sat in there scrap room for decades. Untill they asked me if I would have a go at a display model for them. I am lucky to have developed a very good relationship with them over the years. 😀

Made a start, trying to work out paints I need for pilot and cockpit. First 3 pieces glued. Will leave arms off till cockpit assembled. 😀

I am thinking a trip to RAF Cosford on the cards. 😀

Going for cockpit green.😀

Now, I added aluminium, and I am thinking about a pin wash in the morning 😀

Steve Zodiac Аутор
Had a play with painting and a dry fit. 😀

I bloody hate figures. That's as good as I am going to get it. Next pin wash to tone it down.😀

Steve Zodiac Аутор
Now pin washed and satin matt varnished once dry it should tone down a lot.😀
