Ok started and finished today.

Not a bad little kit, but not a good one either. The fit was ok but the pilot leaves a lot of questions.

Here's the progress pics








And here's the finished kit (more photos will be in gallery when I take them tomorrow as the flash makes it look brighter than it is)

Crikey, that was quick!  

That pilot looks like he could do with feeding up a bit...
