I find myself wondering how many people who actually build this kit will build it as anything other than a Banff Strike Wing or Amiens prison raid aircraft?

Given that the model paints are probably matt or silk, and it wants "bringing up a bit", rather than full gloss (based on access to pampered trials birds through work), I'd suggest brushed Johnson's "Klear" (Future in some markets) floor polish. This may "sound strange" but if you haven't tried it don't knock it.

Personal wish list:- 1/72 scale RNLI Arun, Oakley and Waveney class lifeboats to go with the Severn. "Greedy Ken" says he'd also like full sets of names, pennants and station allocations for these as well. 1/350 scale Type 26 frigate (once design finalised) to go with the Type 45 destroyer. Then maybe a "Queen Elizabeth" class aircraft carrier to complete the battle group.

Memory says that the main issue with the 1/48th Bucc was that the fuselage halves were springy. Having said that, I also think/feel that Airfix have changed the styrene formulation, which may cure that?
