This is the Airfix model I made for my grandson a long time ago. However in my absence his father decided to paint it in the colours you see!
Airfix took their measurements etc from a 'K' in the hangar at Fairford which was on jacks. So accurate was this that they even included the nose jacking pads in the early kits !
