Kit: Alleycat (1:48)

Alleycat's re-vamped Vickers Vimy. Mostly flippin' great chunks of resin, with white metal struts and some PE, plus decals. Nice kit, but I had a very twisted fuselage and in the end, seeing how it resisted gentle persuasion, had to do a lot of gouging and reshaping to get the tailplane more-or-less parallel to the wings. Xtracolour NIVO used for the main finish, and some of the bombs replaced with spares from Roden kits. This one was completed in early 2015, and the top wing has started to adopt a gull wing a bit.
