1/72 Blackburn Firebrand

Okay, this kit is expensive. Now that we've got that one bad piece of news out of the way, it's a phenomenally detailed, all-resin kit of an aircraft that, some might argue, doesn't deserve to be replicated this well (underpowered, and unsuited to the mission it was originally designed for, only about 100 examples were ever built). Without exaggeration, the details included here are at least as good as what you'd expect to find on state-of-the-art injection plastic, and perhaps better. The radial engine is fully detailed, with separately molded parts for the exhaust pipes. Great panel and other feature detail on the fuselage and wings, too. See photos below for marking details. Highly recommended (for experienced modelers).
