I'm sure they will. It has a few fit issues, or at least I did, and the cockpit is a bit sparse but the panel line detail is crisp and up to modern standards.

That weathering is what makes this exemplary, inspiring work. 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

Just subscribed . That’s a really nice build. It’s a shame Airfix dont sell these kits any more as they go for silly money on eBay. I really want to build one on my Chanel too

I'm sure it will be released again...you would build a shiny foil covered version no doubt :-)

Excellent job with the weathering and tonal variations!!

Great build and a lovely looking result. I have both Airfix 1/48 kits but waiting for my airbrushing to improve before tackling! How much weight did you put in the nose? Why Firestreaks and not Red Tops?

Thanks 👍 I filled the air intake internal section, the area in front of the instrument panel and the area behind the ejection sheet with small metal shot pieces. I dropped the model slightly when I was gluing these and now it rattles if you shake it. I chose the Firestreaks because the seeker head is a unique shape and a terrific little moulding which seemed a shame not to use. The instructions didn't disallow the combination but do suggest that Red Top is probably the expected choice.

Those firestreak pylons should be horizontal
