Giovanni Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hello dear modelers, I've just built this premiere kit recently released by Airfix: Giovanni is me while Francesco is my 8 years nephew. He helped me a lot building it. I.e. he did the aluminium color aerography. The model was a present I gave him some time ago. The kit was built OOB in four days and actually just misses the pitot. Must say I love Airfix that offer us a kit of such a striking subject for a price of about 11 Eur. Here some pictures: I warmly recommend this kit to all. Bye Giovanni & Francesco Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Giovanni Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thank You Jason! Probably a bit too shiny and colourful but the aim was to teach my nephew the basic techniques and not to get him too bored! Bye Giovanni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Learstang Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 You're welcome! You can never get too shiny and colourful for an 8-year old nephew (I have two!). Best Regards, Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giovanni Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Sorry if I post some more pictures but I've added the pitot tube and 2 small antennae. I also attached the model to a simple display stand. And the truth is that I'm really in love with the shape of this little brit jet and think this new pictures are better then the previous.

CaptainObvious Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hi Giovanni, Those are some nice pictures of a striking subject. The display stand really adds to the build. What a fantastic uncle Francesco has! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
