Great review, thanks. An impressive looking kit for the money. I like the way Airfix have tooled the wing struts to ensure that the upper and lower wings go together correctly (always a nightmare when I built Airfix biplanes in the 60's)

Well done Hobby, you came to the same conclusion as me then...a lovely little kit and an unusual choice of subject. Haven't done mine yet either.....
Yes.. It is supposed to look like that!
