Airfix Nimrod

Has anyone seen this out in the shops yet, or started building one?

Started building two of mine, a superb kit without faults so far. Cockpit detail is sparse, but then you wont see much of it once the windows are in place. Bombay is basic aswel, again you can’t really see inside once it is parked , due to proximty to the ground. Rest of the detail is superb, especially the undercarriage, plastic is very high quality and the parts just fit together perfectly. The options in the kit are also very wide ranging, unfortunatly there isn’t a St Mawgan Nimrod option, which has really made me mad!
I’ve been carping on to Airfix for 25 years to do a Nimrod, so this was a bit of a moment when it actually arrived in the model shop!

Saw my first one yest in a shop. Read a magazine preview of the kit. Not without faults but impessive kit by all accounts.
