A 1963 mold date for this one. I have a 1/72 Special Hobby kit which is of a much more recent vintage (2005), but I passed over it because of....propeller blades had to be glued to the hubs. The Frog kit has complete propeller sets.

Well...that went together quickly. There were fit problems, but nothing that wasn't relatively easy to address with filler. I had the dangedest time getting the wing roots to fit in to the assembled fuselage. I pared and sanded the tangs and pared the slots a mite larger. Then, in a dry fit, they both literally snapped in to place. I didn't bother taking them back out to apply cement...I painted them in to place.

I did NOT want to use the decals I inherited with this kit. They were obviously old. The squadron numbers in white were on hideously yellowed background blocks, and the fuselage roundels were off-center on the outer yellow discs. So, I had a Xtradecal set (X72079) of Coastal Command decals that I'd obtained for the Liberator revision which had...ta da...Beaufort insignia! So it is now marked as AW-S of No. 42 Sqn., RAF Wick, det. Thorney Island, late 1940.
