Whether you are following the „divine“ 72nd scale or you are a fan of the very popular „Quarterscale“ – Airfix is right at the moment giving us modellers what we all sought after: Accessories to „liven up“ our miniature airfields.
For a special BoB-project I recently bought Airfix´ Albion refueller – and what a beauty it is!
Upon opening the box you are greated by four medium-grey sprues of immaculately cast polystyrene:
The sprues in detail:
Additionally you do get a single transparent sprue for the windshield etc.:
The chassis of our Quarterscale Albion – truly superb:
Parts for the cab:
Additional parts for the body:
Take a special notice of these wonderful wheels cum hubs:
All the details are magnificently moulded and are free of flash or distortion:
The instruction manual is following Airfix´ new style with red „in situ“ drawings – I really do like them:
Even a perfect polystyrene-fool like me is now able to follow through the build without making too much of a mistake!
The tiny decal-sheet …
… is more than sufficient for the single marking possible:
To sum up my first really positive impression: This is a beautyful kit of a much needed RAF ground vehicle at the right time at an affordable price!
Need to say more?
Go out, buy one and have fun building it.
Highly recommended …
