I love the Wyvern!! Good success on this one, mate.

I built a vacuform Wyvern on commission in the early nineties and so became very fond of the airplane. Westland built a true monster, almost like a turboprop P-47 that could land on an aircraft carrier!

What is refreshing is that most of part need sanding to fit into place... I miss this much!! All right, I like this modern kit developed with 3D technology but it look like my heart live still in early '70

I agree, it is sometimes fun to build one of these Classic Airframes kits. The extra fitting takes me back to my earlier days, too!!

Thanks friends :)) despite fact that every single instrument was placed one by one, it is released so fast so wings join the fuselage :))

Problem associated with canopy. Sample I wanted to do at first glance, have all clear canopy, while kit include only one type, with metal cover rear part. So I will do another sample, not this one.
