I'm rediscovering the magic of model making, something that has not been a part of my life for nearly three decades!
I can remember the unbridled joy it used to give me as a young lad when, with pocket money in hand, I'd soon find myself of a Saturday morning eagerly scanning the rows and rows of boxes in my local model shop trying to decide which kit to take home with me for that week's enjoyment. Now I want to recapture that excitement and the pride of a kit well made.
A gorgeous kit from those Russian folks, that I reckon I'll be getting started on fairly soon!
That and other stuff. Also, for reasons I'm still trying to figure out, this video hasn't processed in HD. Sorry 'bout that! (There's also something funky going on with the photo borders...)
This kit was kindly supplied by the Kitmaker Network.

The eagle-eyed among you will/may have noticed the starboard aileron actuator is missing - that's because I knocked it off just as I was posing the kit for its photo session!
