    that was quick thanks very much ,I don't know who the kit was by as i built it over 30 years ago but it is still in good condition apart from the odd Arial/gun missing ,it still needs to be sealed with varnish as it doesn't appear to have been done as its only since i've been on this site that i found you need to do this to protect the transfers etc

    Glad to be of assistance There are a couple of 1/48 versions of this type around currently, Classic Airframes being one that I would love to get my hands on

    If you don't mind me asking, how do you manage to keep them looking so good after 30 years in a box? I will probably have to start boxing things in the very near future (I've only got a tiny space to display in and I hate chucking them away), and I doubt mine will look that good after 6 months...

    i've had most of my old kits stored in old flat shirt boxes you used to get kept flat in the loft of where i was living at the time,some of the kits have stored very well and some have been completly ruined which i think has had more to do with me moving about over the last 3-4 years than how i had stored them as i kept them for a while at work as we had squirrels get into our loft and couldn't keep them out no matter how hard we tried,we now have a new roof and extention of which i plan to layout a 1/72nd airfield[as mentioned on another post,its a very big space]and so i'm bringing home all my kits including stored built kits as i come across the boxes, as i sort out my vintage car spares stores at work where they were temporarily put,i somewhere have quite a few Japanese as well as more Italian and french aircraft kits still to find that i don't have clue what they are that i will post pics of later to try to get help to identify ,thanks again

    I have dozens of 1/72 WWII British kits I built as a kid 30 + years ago. Apart from missing prop blades, landing gear and decals that fall off if you fart they have held up pretty good.
    I'm half Irish half Scot. One half of me want's to get drunk. The other half doesn't want to pay for it.

    I built a large glass cabinet in my workshop. I'll post some pics of it soon.
