another of the kits needing restoration found in store recently,this was the last kit i started when i was 19 but never finished,it has survived very well as has the box with all the unfitted parts still present,pics to follow shortly once i've downloaded them from my phone,i'm finding it more fun restoring the broken kits than building the new one's,



thanks for looking

[woljags]

pics of the condition of the model,i also found the box with the rest of the unfitted parts still there,pic 2 shows the damage to the front of the cockpit,

thanks for looking

i'm quite pleased with the results considering the state of her,lots of detailing still to do including a coat or two of matt varnish

Not too bad.

The last picture, is it just an optical illusion or is it really 1/72 scale? That pic makes it look almost like a 1/144 scale.

Almost bought a Airfix 1/72 Heinkel He 177 not too long ago, just because of the classic old boxart! Great save!

Looking good.

I believe I have one these somewhere unbuilt.
