I first bought this kit, no doubt like many of you, on it's first release in 1968 so when it was re-released in 2011 I JUST had to buy it again. In between it had had 6 re-boxings and along the way it became a 'snap and glue' kit. That was the kit re-released in 2011 but it now includes updated decals by Cartograph but sadly it has the usual Airfix pilot so she has the figure of Keira Knightley not Destiny Angel!! The mouldings haven't weathered the storm of time very well and suffer from lots of flash and ejector pin marks in some awkward places. An online build said that filler was required in lots of places and that turns out to be the case. I've started scratch-building the cockpit and am replacing the kit bench with a seat that looks more like the original item. Because the kit is 'snap and glue' you have yo be very careful when dry fitting items and when it comes to gluing there isn't much wiggle room.

I built one many years ago.
Captain Scarlet remembered with fondness.

I bet Chris remembers all the angel pilots' names!

I was at sea hitting things with hammers so didn't see the show or the model - I have had such a bad life, before you lot say it - hohohoho

Harmony, Melody, Rhapsody and Symphony? (Is that right?)

I think that's right. There were five of them  - don't know if Destiny was the fifth one.

She was. But which was the one shot down by the Mysterons?

Don't know Chris its a mystery to me !!!!!!!
