JCote 60 Posted March 9, 2006 The goal is to convert the venerable Airfix MkI into a Canadian Mk IX, squadron and exact sub-variant as yet undetermined. I can only devote a couple of evenings a week to the project, and because I´m trying to experiment with techniques that are completely new to me (vac-forming, photo-etching, soldering), progress is very slow. However, it´s great fun and I´m learning a lot as I go. So here goes for my first LSP post... 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AngoMango 1 Posted March 9, 2006 yeah JCote, looks fantastic! I'm building this kit at the moment too, but only as a Mk 1. I take my hat off to you for undertaking such an exciting but difficult project, and I'll also be watching with interest. Great stuff mate, you've made a blistering good start. Cheers, Ango.
