Airwaves did a resin one with a fair amount of detail, and included new engine fronts (although they may be Mk.2 standard):

Pleasure to meet you to and oh my what a big C*ck you have.

Not quite..........

It is 95% complete.

Minus the serial on the top wing surface - which had masses of silvering on it

- so I scraped it all off.

I had to make my own blue striping - it all broke up as soon as I put it in water - despite a coat of varnish.

Still to add are some aerials, plus some 'weathering' and the side windows.........

Most people who saw it were impressed though - if only by the sheer size of it !!
