This is the Airfix kit with the
Neomega T1 cockpit set. This was a real tough one to build, the plastic parts
were warped and the flaps seemed like they were designed for another
aircraft. I served at RAF Chivenor and wanted to make an aircraft in the
wrap around grey and green scheme, I chose a 151 Sqn aircraft, as I always liked
the large letter on the tail, decals came from Extradecal and Model Alliance. The
canopy in the kit is terrible, far too thick and has the inside bracing moulded
on the outside. I found a Premier kit for £3 at a show and used the canopy from
that which strangely is excellent.

All in all this was
another long project but a labour of love as I remembered all the great nows at
RAF Chivenor in North Devon (now closed as a fixed wing unit but SAR Seakings
operate there).
