Very good model from Airfix.  I bought it last November when I was on Scale Model World show in Telford.  I started to make it right after my back home.  It is "new generation" Airfix kit.  Surfaces is smooth, assembly with no big problems.  I made scrathbuilt wheel wells and RN 2" rocket pods. Cockpit from Neomega.  I used Sangyo Gunze colors for painting.

Wheel legs looks a bit dark, but it is only on the photo.  Wheel doors and Pitot tubes removed, because I prepared model for moving to another place and forgot to fit it. Operator's side window was broken and I made it from clear decal paper.  There is no frame because of it. 

Model left me very satisfied.  I've just wanted to build the model.  And I did it.   :)
