  1. Cees, I will build more than 1. The first is going to be finished in the markings of one used at the HGCU Brize Norton in all its faded and patched paintwork glory and another will end up in a LZ diorama. I'm undecided if I will be getting a MkII as the thought of scratch building a replacement nose is a little daunting.
  2. Being a volunteer at the Museum of Army Flying I have access to the biggest collection of British assault gliders in the world and this kit has been on my 'wants list' ever since it was first announced by Masterbox. My access to original Horsa gliders will be of assistance in adding all the detail this kit lacks, such as the structural texture (especially on those huge wings), wing bombcells / hinges and access hatches, tail prop, navigation lights etc. (and that's just the exterior) One thing anyone building this kit will notice is that there are no colour call outs for the interior. The safe bet would be interior green all over but this would only be correct for the cockpit. In the cargo hold the interior green only came up to the line of the seat back whilst the rest was unvarnished wood. To compliment this kit Eduard have announced a series of detail sets to be issued in the new year, and as a follow up Bronco have announced a Horsa MkII which will use many of the same parts as the MkI, although they seem to have failed to notice that the shape of the nose on the MkII was totally different from the MkI. This kit may not be perfect but it builds nicely and it doesn't require any major surgery, just added detail to the level of your own satisfaction.
