I've made a start on the Anson, and it's been a very favourable impression. The plastic is on the soft side, which means it's easy to trim and sand, very few ejector pin marks as yet to fill and very clear positive locations which has meant a simple smooth build to date:

Those of you who have built either the Classic Airframes or Special Hobby offering will know the angst that their resin cast frameworks cause, very fragile and usually warped! No flash on any of Airfix's frames, nor anywhere else for that matter.

More later I hope.

Following with interest!

Hope I do it justice then! It’s the first Airfix kit I’ve built for years, I know the company has had its ups and downs but I’m impressed with the Anson so far Felix.

More work on the Anson cockpit, and my admiration for the thought that has gone into this kit increases, small touches like the blank that fits into the floor in front of the second pilot position if you don’t want the extra wheel:

and the construction of the IP, console and rudder pedals:

and then it all fits beautifully in place:

Time for some painting I think, most of the units in my pictures are placed but not secured…..which in turn shows how precise the fit is! And this is where we're heading:

Cockpit comes along nicely, my friend @maxw!

Looks terrific, Max (@maxw). I am glad Airfix spent the time to do a good job on the interior, since all the glass makes the inside very visible. I have never built the previous, scary versions of the Anson, but my quick look at the parts when my Airfix version arrived were very favorable. Like you said, now all I need is more time and I will get to it.

Now that will for sure be a challenge, building a vacuum 1/32 Anson, Max @maxw

This looks really good. I finally tossed my CA Anson, so I am really looking forward now to getting one, after seeing this.
