Yeah, his 'just for fun' stuff is like my 2 year project. :rolleyes:

That firewall is a model in itself, great work.

All I did was adding the plumbing to the firewall.
Everything else was stock kit although I have to admit that the nest of vipers that Airfix provided for the engine was fiddly to install at times. :rolleyes:

Cheers,

Looking rather good there sir.

Each time I see these being built, confirms that I need 2 kits. One to build clean, one to build opened up.

In my opinion, the Merlin is the main attraction of this kit and is easily worth half the price.
Having said that, contrary to some modellers’ opinions (soft mouldings, etc…), the rest of the model is outstanding with realistic airframe skin detailing just waiting to be discovered.
