Stringbag

Hello, i finished this kit some months ago but didn´t post it for some reason i can´t remember, but here it is.

As you can see i like vintage model kits a lot, so this is another oldie, Fairey with some bit of aftermarket details, but i did try to make it look Matchbox-ish; Humbrol paints for top and Model Master beneath, decals from the box, photoetch from Airwaves, and a Flightpath UK torpedo, and this kit wasn´t original unfortunately, but the AG reissue.
