OK, I've done it out the box, but I am now seriously tempted to do another in FAA markings: EDSG and Sky.   Just the plane for those aerial carriers!

Very nicely done gengriz, here's a pic of mine:

Nice job, Kitnut - its certainly different isn't it!  Can just imagine Angelina Jolie emerging from the cockpit in a leather flying suit with a patch on her eye (although IIRC their ones took off horizontally !) Lurvely !


Your decals look slightly different from mine - are they the KP ones out the box?

The KP kit is actually a very nice kit to build, it's quite a bit better than some of their other offerings.  Decals where the only problem I found, they wouldn't bed down even with some setting solution.  I used some generic insignia decals and all the special KP ones to do mine.  

I recommend it to anyone.

I'll have to get going on my Lockheed XFV-1 now, I've got the Pegasus offering which is a little crude.

I have one of them. You have made me start to think in whiffing it.

Great build.

Why is it when I see these I want to buy two of them and make salt and pepper shakers out of them?  :dum:

Very nice builds to all of you, the Pogo has been on my wish list for a while, I just haven't gotten around to picking one up yet, I think I'll nudge it closer to the top of the list  :)

RN convoy protection circa 1950 or maybe a jungle scheme for RAF Belize?
