I first made one of these when it came in a plastic bag in the late 60s. The mouldings look reasonable. I'll see how it goes together. The fuselage mouldings look new.

Now that's a blast from the past.

I can't remember having built this one, I know I built the Harrier G.R.1(?) when it first came out. That was a chunky model and I still have the rocket pods in my spares. Looking forward to seeing this built.

[chriswil42]

This build is going fairly quick. Most of it done.

[kiwichappers]

Amazing progress after 7even days. Lightning quick work by my standards. I'm impressed.

[chriswil42]

Well there are few parts and simple to put together.

[kiwichappers]

There were only 20 pieces to the He178V-1 and that took a lot longer than a week. In fact it was about ten days to get the fuselage closed up. So I continue to be impressed by your rapid progress.

[chriswil42]

Now ready for decals. Aluminium over black goes on well.

Very good finish Chris

[cph64]

Great build of an old kit.

[chriswil42]

Here it is complete. Only 50 parts or so; the mouldings are not brilliant but probably better than the first one I attempted back in the late 60s early 70s. The paint finish is better.
The model represents one of the first prototypes which is now in tne Brooklands Air Museum.
