Continuing with this monstrosity, that is laughably called a model kit......I have finally got the complete wings on, although there will be a ton of filling and sanding to do. It seems that back in 1984, Matchbox weren't really that bothered about the fact that their wings were varying thicknesses along their lengths. Add to that, that the chord of the outer section is bigger than that of the inner section, and you end up with a dogtooth! It's not a Hunter, lol

Roll on the Airfix version. At least then, all we'll have to deal with is crappy intakes.....

I never realised how much of a pig, this kit is. Thats a great bit of modelling, though.

I don't suppose I'm helping myself by adding all the resin. But, having said that, if somebody ever gave me one of these again, it would be Whif material.....
