Next up! I have only found one instance online so far of anyone who has seen this one through to completion, it's that troublesome. Expecting a lot of fettling and scratchwork ahead. But as you know I love a challenge, hope I haven't finally met my match.... #KatModelPhonixC1

Scratch build cockpit painted up, somewhat more authentic than the kit offering! #ItaleriCG4A

Underway with the CG-4. It seems Italeri never looked in the real cockpit, and the kit provides just a couple of bucket seats and control sticks - so I've thrown all that away had a really fun time with styrene sheet and rods and built something a bit more authentic! #ItaleriCG4A

Next up! These transport gliders were made in their thousands to assist in many WWII operations. Even if the subject matter isn't as glamourous as some, it does represent a very important part of military history and I look forward to giving it my best attentions... #ItaleriCG4A

Next up! I always loved the Defiant, the plucky underdog that did some sterling work but just couldn't attain the glory of the Hurricane and Spitfire. But a very interesting aircraft that deserves recognition and I shall do my best to honour it with this build. #AirfixDefiant
