Fantastic strike aircraft renowned for extreme low-level performance. Because of this I've decided to model it in flight, but it does seem a shame to hide the detail that Airfix have included in the wheel wells, air brakes and wing folds. I have got the Eduard coloured PE cockpit detailing set which is a big improvement over the kit parts/decals. I'll use this along with the standard Airfix pilots - even though this means the pilot will be 'flying' hands-off with both hands on his knees! Everyone seems to model the Ark Royal livery, so I may 'buc' the trend and do the one from HMS Eagle, which adds a bit more colour to an otherwise very grey scheme.
