Thought whilst away in Devon i would take a slight 'change of tack' and go for a Golden Oldie build.
It's the Airfix 1/144 HP42 Heracles which dates back to 1965. It will be built straight from the box with no interior detail.
So this is the progress so far. The surface detail on the components is quite good but the fit is not precise and certainly not up to what we would expect from Airfix these days.
Interestingly Airfix, on their website, last week were asking which kits that modellers might like to see reissued. All I can say is be careful what you wish for! Some kits that seemed excellent years ago don't hold up well now.

Interesting.

Was this the kit that came packaged with a Kamov Ka25B and a book about Airfix?
