null_null981707818191 Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 "These older Airfix clearly are of their time and not really comparable to modern kits, but their assembly almost always provides me with a pleasurable build" - but there is a fine line between an enjoyable challenge and less-than-enjoyable battle... I tend to the view that if I can stick to Airfix, I will, which sometimes means buying and building an old mould model in order to complete a project. I get what you're saying about rivets being 'of their time' - and a bit of sanding can always smooth things out! Additionally, lack of moulded cockpit detail can fairly easily be rectified with my rudimentary scratch building skills, which of course makes it a positive luxury when I have a new mould build on the bench. But I have to say that gaping holes instead of wheel-wells is something I have to counter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
