Okay, this how I read the thread as it appears on my screen:
(Opening paragraph, first photo) Neat idea, looks like it'll be a quick build of a different subject, exactly what I myself need to get the mojo back, Good choice MP.
(Scroll down, second photo) Resin. What the heck is he thinking? If that was me, it'd be like I took what little mojo I had, dowsed it in gasoline, lit it on fire, stamped it out and buried it in the back yard, never to be seen again.
But I wish you all the luck in the world and will watch with interest. :zen

Jeff this kit is new and looks very nice. Not my first Resin aircraft, right now i'm batting .5 on them. Started two and finished one. Nice thing about this one is there are already alignment holes for parts to join (unlike other "$tate of the art" kits). She's really falling into place.
Black interior with a dry brush of panzer grey, or german grey...with a touch of buff.
... 
Glad to see the bench cooperating...:facepalm
Really diggin' this kit. Insert Tab A into slot B and create an outstanding wing root.
I got Tab A pointed out, that's one piece fuselage half with the cockpit sidewall molded in. Takes a bit of trim to make it work but nothing outrageous. Might be that I didn't have the cockpit floor trimmed up close enough forward.
This is just dry fit right now.

Nice!
It's the kit. :coolio
BRG?
Instructions call for a silver or grey...it's a bit unknown I think.
While waiting on the grass to dry out I test fitted the wings, once again Tab A into Slot B. Had to clean the slot out, as you can imagine some resin residue was up in there not allowing the tab to insert fully. The fit is GREAT. I got one problem though, will post pictures later after I get the chores done.
Be thinking how to fill in a trailing edge, very thin!

Oh no, that's not this bird.
Paul there were 5 of these little babies. G-ACSS is the one I'm doing and I may be doing "Australian Anniversary", think that was the one with the typewriter. G-ACSS was originally red, then this scheme, then an army scheme and now back to red as it is today.
G-ACSR was the green one.

Who knows, this kit is going together so well I may do one or two more just for the hey of it.
Wings just dry fitted but the fuselage is sealed up.
