Nice buys Mag. And another Avenger for the PTO GB, great! Better get a move on though, there's only six weeks left.

Considering this kit was originally released in 1974, it's not bad overall. A bit basic, with (fine) raised panel lines etc, but that's not a problem. The interior is totally inaccurate though, with the main bulkhead about ten scale feet too far forward, and with two other bulkheads and side consoles that didn't exist! But it's got a lot of scope for some nice scratch-building. It's also rather large and beefy! But as Herr Doktor Wojtek would say, 'A big model, a big fun'!
hey Terry some decent pics in here and a fella on the same venture might give you some different ideas on the same problem.Cheers Kevin

Thanks Kevin! There's a couple of useful things in there I can use, especially some of the cockpit colour details. I won't be having the fuselage on mine cut open, although I will be converting it to a MkVIf night-fighter. I was going to make a Mk1f, which would have meant a different interior in the mid -section, with drum-fed cannon, a point that most modellers seem to miss, fitting ammo tanks in error. Fortunately, the MkVI had the box-like ammo tanks, so it'll make some of the work a little easier, but there's still going to be a heck of a lot of internal scratch-building to be done but only the bits that can be seen!

Yes, never seen that before. All picsIi've seen of Beaus, and the couple of interiors I've seen 'in the flesh', had metal floors, or at least they looked metal. They certainly weren't bare wood - intersting, I'll have to dig a bit deeper.

Nipped out to the Post Office (didn't know they closed on Wednesday afternoon!!) and passed one of those 'everything discounted' shops. Saw these at the remarkable price of £3 ($4.92 US, $6.18 Aus, $5.67 CND), so had to get 'em, especially as my old pastels are just about done (those that I managed to find!).
