Reference

We have a couple of very detailed walk around photo sets for the FGR.2 in your SMN Photo Reference Library covering all aspects of this aircraft, inside and out, including the cockpit.

Full build article…

Oddly, in fact, very oddly we don’t have a full build article for this kit in SMN (August 2019), that’s astonishing and I plan to rectify this as soon as possible! Keep a close eye on Aircraft Build Now (to follow every step of the build) and then Aircraft Finished Now Revell when it’s complete. :)
