Thanks pmwalt, somewhere along the line Airfix re-molded this kit, it is much nicer than the rivetty horror of my childhood |

That looks great Anton, an excellent paint job. Can you please show us how you made your flying stand? I am about to start an airfix hawker typhoon to use for gaming but am not sure of the best way to go about making a suitable stand. Yours looks very stable. |

Biffo446 The base is an old CD (Madonna, I think) then I epoxied a large fender washer to the center to give it some mass. On top of that I affixed an extendable magnet (sold at tool shops as a "magnetic hand" for picking up dropped screws and small parts). It is essentially an old-fashioned collapsible antennae with a powerful magnet on the end. Glue a bit of steel to the bottom of your model and you are in business. |
