The Gnat is one of those aircraft that has always appealed to me and the Airfix boxing of this kit was something I built in-between a few commission builds, just as a bit of a pallet cleanser. The kit is a real joy to build, with no major issues and only required a little filler in a few places. The only additions I added to the model were a pair of pilot figures from PJ Productions (PJ721132) and a brass pitot tube from Master (MR72-083), as the kit item is very fragile. The model was painted with Tamiya AS12 Silver, with the remaining colours from MRP and the clear coats from the SMS range. I am a real convert to MRP and SMS paints and they are now my go to paints and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I used the kit decals throughout on the model, which are beautifully thin and performed flawlessly using the Microscale Set and Sol solutions.
