[J.R. Boye]

Not bad for a brush job! It looks way better than mine did then.

Re: [WWI] Latest from Airfix Hand-paint lozenge -that brings back memories.

Here’s something from my youth I found lurking in a cupboard.

   Out of interest I just increased my Hannover overkill by one. The plastic is the same as ever - the moulds haven't really deteriorated at all. There's a new decal sheet with 2 options, nicely done, as is the full colour painting guide, which shows the hand-painted larger fuselage markings but is unaware of the blue overspray/ other over-coating methods. You are, as ever, expected to hand paint the lozenge, for which they give dubious paint recommendations. For the price , I wouldn't complain. In it's day it was a good kit, it still is. Needs work to bring up to modern expectations, but is the only game in town.

 
Paul.
