Stunning work! I really like the "style" of your video, being very informative entertaining. I'm glad that I bought this kit and am eager to start it. Tom S.
Beautiful end result. Having built it now, do you think it should be a starter kit? I thought it had quite a lot of fiddly deck and cabin fittings and that curved hull transfer looked like it was 'fun' to apply!
I found the most difficult bits to be adding the cockpit housing to the deck and getting the split between the hull blue and black sections correct. However adding the cockpit housing is mainly difficult because I was trying to get a good join line. As a starter I might not be quite so fussed. I didn't get the split between the blue/black sections of the hull correct but it still looks ok I think. So while there steps that a starter would find tricky they could still produce a decent result. I imagine having to paint it using the supplied paints and brushes and getting a good result is barely possible...although I've never tried so could be wrong..
I got the internal glazing to fit by cutting the single pieces into separate windows. They wouldn't fit properly otherwise. The external glazed screen was fine until I accidently spilt a drop of Tamiya Extra Thin on it. Fortunately it is difficult to notice.

@@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn Thanks for such a thorough reply! I know what you mean about the starter pack paints😁.
Was 'glass' part too short at the end? Mine was, pretty bad thing as for newly tooled model.

A relatively simple model but you did it justice.
Thanks. It's part of the Airfix starter range, so simplified, but still builds into a nice kit.
Those arnt reverse buckets but the actual propulsion jets
@@stevebrodie2037 The jets come ready moulded in the stern piece and that step is showing that we have to add the reverser to them.
Them seats look a bit close together, there's no legroom
That's how they're moulded. I imagine the real seats have space underneath to put your feet, like on an aircraft.
