Airfix kit:
It's the new moulding which has nice detail with minimum clean up being required. It does however suffer from several fit issues, notably the air intake nacelles (too big and needed sanding down) the fit of the wing assembly to the fuselage and the underbelly panel for the main landing gear compartment (also needing downsizing)
Yes, it's done in the colour of the Yellow Jacks with Red Arrows markings!!!! With my latest form with masking, I wanted to play it safe!!! :13:
There were 103 decals on the sheet but I left off 73 of them as they are TINY and unreadable with the naked eye. Besides I'm no pedantic nit picker!!! LOL The decals however were amongst the very best I have ever come across. Strong, compliant and came off the backing in seconds, even in cold water. Nice one Airfix. 1001
Anyway, it is what it is!!
