If the new Airfix Hunter is at the same level of quality as the rest of their new tool stuff, it will be super. And far superior to the Academy kit. They screwed up the cockpit quite a bit by making it underscale. Such a shame, as the Hunter is such a beauty of an aircraft.

Good man, on your whiskey and coffee. :wink: Cheers mate!
Yeah it was pretty bad if I recall, The fit of the intakes was also pretty terrible.

Whiskey or a cream liqueur - both very nice in a coffee!

This does look excellent. I just wish I'd waited; I built the older Airfix one already. In fact, I have all three of the V Bombers built already, the Handley Page Victor being the final one finished about two years ago.

True, but did the old Airfix kit come with Blue Steel?

If "Blue Steel" is the nuke, then yes, it came with it. I have it sitting unpainted on my workbench.

Otherwise, I have no idea what "Blue Steel" is.... :hmm: :bag:
