This was built as an
attempt to follow the plans to the letter, and build a kit to look exactly as it
appeared in the instruction sheet. Most people think I’ve succeeded...

The idea came
to me one evening, and next morning I made this in just under three hours,
using steel wire to replicate the “this part goes here” lines in the
instructions. It made its debut at a model show in September, and huge fun
was had watching people’s faces crack into a smile as they saw it and
realised what it was!
Airfix themselves
were so taken with it that they acquired it from me with a view to using it for
publicity purposes. Seems strange that after all the pocket money I spent buying
Airfix kits as a kid, Airfix end up buying one from me!
Cheers,
Dean
