Martlet Mk.IV 888 NavalAir Squadron HMS Formidable,OP Torch,1942 Airfix 1/72

October 28, 2019 · in Aviation · · 11 · 1.6K

Another gem of a kit, Built out of the box with kit decals , went together with no real issues. The kit has you use the cowl ring extension and cowl, that left another cowl, maybe for a III? It couldn't be for the US version because there's no small intake on the lip. The kit also has a nice wing fold option.

  8. Looks good Robert! I built this kit (in US colours) myself earlier this year and was suitably impressed.
