    YESSSS! I have wanted this kit for such a long time, @lis! I think the camouflage scheme looks just too awesome, the box art is striking. Please do tell me what it is like building it - is it possible to put it on a stand, btw.? The instructions do not show such a possibility but i have been contemplating recreating the box art with the plane flying low.

    @fxrob The instructions do not provide for the assembly of the factory stand, but you can definitely do something yourself. I am planning an airfield with elements of marine equipment like torpedoes, depth bombs, etc. The painting is great, but for Polish Wellingtons, Dark Earth and Dark Green and white bottom surfaces are correct, because the planes came from Bomber Command and were repainted in the field, only on the bottom surface.

    @fiveten Mabye Yoy have sth from Costal Command to build there? 🙂

    Pilot is ready. Figure is moulded with pilot seat. Bit tricky when I painted it. The pilot even got a mustache
