Johan DNSurely not and fun to build 🙂 I still have some of these 'jewels' in my stash and hope to build them in the near future.

Johan DNThanks for your nice comments and cheering me up! I still have a 'Vickers Vimy Mk IV Heavy Bomber' and a 'Tupolev SB-2 "Katyuska" Bomber' both from Novo in my stash. Maybe I'll try to make a decent build of these two. But before that I will build some Tamiya kits 🙂

Bill DavisNice work Johan. I could not find enough detail on the cockpit to do much. So, I just added seat belts.

Gordon Sørensen@matthew...Really? There is a distributor here in Montreal that had shelves of the old Authentic. I always wondered if it would have been worthwhile to buy it and resell to the collectors...

Johan DNThank you.
I used 30 year old Humbrol paints in the little tin cans. Still in good condition.
