From Hero to Zero!!!

I am reliably informed that some people make "Airfix " kits for fun-fun? bloody fun?? they must be mad!! I bought two (why?) Airfix Zero Fighter kits to add to Brian's collection of Japanese WW2 troops and spent hours and hours trying to decipher the instructions,sticking every part of the damned kit to various parts of my body,whilst drinking copious amounts of Rum to try and make sense of it all!!-then there were the "decals"-enough said about those bloody things..............

Beautiful coloured box and equipment needed to assemble the kit,and instructions(well one of three pages of them!!)

After "completing" the kits,these are the bits I had left-I'm sure I was supposed to use all of them!

There's even a little man to put in the cockpit thingy-by the time I'd had a couple of glasses of rum,I didn't know if he was supposed to be a pirate or a pilot!!

The 134 refers to the number of times I tried to get the bloody thing level!!!!-why do all Airforces have targets painted on their sides??-the undersides have decals on them too,but I wouldn't dare photograph them-disaster is too kind a word for them!!

The finished articles mounted on pieces of MDF with a wooden BBQ skewer to hold them up!

Well,I'm off to do something easy now-I'm studying Quantum Physics at the Open University (Westerhope Campus)-well,its got to be easier than building an Airfix kit!!!
