Kit: Revell (1:72)
I found this package going for 15 Euros last year, so thought "why not?" No room for internal detail, and it's the older Revell mold, so I restricted the not-OOBness to changing the early aileron to the later variety, and adding control horns. Some of these got bent while positioning the model above the base magnet (3 power dives before success), and the smaller bits like handling hoops and pilots step fell off, or would have if I'd have bothered to make them. Didn't even reposition the control surfaces. Markings are from Blue Rider, paint is Humbrol and Mr Kit, and this was about 4 hours pleasant distraction from normal modelling. Today's 'oh, I just noticed' goes likje this. Oh, I just noticed that I got the turquoise/streaky olive demarcation too far back on the fuselage, which explains why the decals seemed a bit too large. I may be slow, but I get there in the end. The decals, BTW, worked very well.
