Buccaneer on the High Seas
the cockpit is reasonably well detailed out of the box
the build is a breeze - really well engineered. The kit is not explicitly designed for wheels-up/in-flight, but the modification is pretty straight-forward
The kit does contain crew figures, but they are not pose-able and are identical. I got some replacements from PJ Productions.

Great build Paul. It reminds me Phoenix Squadron from Rowland White's book.

That's fantastic, great display option. What's your opinion of the kit, would you recommend it.

Thanks! Mike yes, absolutely. The kit builds really well, and is nicely engineered. I can't speak to accuracy - not my speciality. I hear the new 1:48 is at least as good if not better (but I prefer 1:72 anyway)
