1/48 Classic Airframes Fairey Battle

This is a Classic Airframes 1/48 Fairey Battle kit I completed some time ago. Its wonderful that we can now get all these esoteric subjects with limited run kits these days!  The kit was completed almost exclusively out-of-box except for some wire and plastic card here and there to augment broken kit supplied pieces and such.  The assembly went pretty smooth with some extra work around the vacformed canopy (which is typical).  Decals were derived from the excellent kit supplied ones.  I used Gunze Sangyo paints throughout with an oil based wash at the end.  The resin details provided in the kit were great to work with and resulted in some very nice detail around the cockpit.
