I am not sure this will be allowed as it is NOT Airfix but i cannot find anywhere else to post it and I think it does deserve a mention

I bought this broken and incomplete kit off ebay covered in dust and probably left in a box or attic since 1958 and set about restoring it 

I did not have a lot to work on to be honest 

I just used paint clay and  carved wood and of course a pidgeon /media/tinymce_upload/164150c816fec3801c1c752eb161c0a7.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/c903192b6fcf486614f42327c98bc195.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/07b985006f861349a223ece223c64aec.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/e7e2171af5440bc1b70c286d67555857.JPGfeather

I think it's good to see old plastic models having a new lease of life. I've re-conditioned a few myself over the last few years, mainly ones that I made originally in the seventies. This week I finished off a 'Frog' Delta Dagger; it was recovered in a very battered condition from a cardboard box where it had gathered dust since 1973!  A few months ago I salvaged an old HMS Daring from the same box, I'm sticking a picture of how it looks now on the 'Ships and Boats' sub forum if anyone's interested.
