The parts are assembled into sub-assemblies ready for priming and then inside out paint with Cockpit Green and the RAF Flyers getting their blue uniform and yellow harness treatment. Originally I was thinking of getting three kits and doing an air scenario for the attack on the Sedan Bridgehead, a kind of early war 1940 style 633 Squadron attack (with everybody going down in a hail of light flak), but even light bombers are "big" to store in 1/72 scale. It may be more feasible to do this in Zevezda's 1/144 or metal 1/300, with my German 1/200 Blitzkrieg kit being the land elements/targets.
The latter thoughts must be considered to be in the "future project" category.

Nice, one of my all time favs!
Nice one Geordie. I have two of these I have been putting off building. You may have given me a push.
Nice to know I share your tastes in WWII early war aircraft
Personally I think you deserved a VC for getting into one of these things
Great one to build. Three 1/72nd scale in an attack would be spectacular. Looking forward to it already!
Happy to hear you finding this model again. The recent re-releases of model kits from our childhood past is a blessing!
Just saw the price of the Zvezda 1/144 kits (£7.99) which would mean (if the kits were still in production, as is always the case for Airfix) the 1/72 version of an attack on The Sedan Bridges would be as cheap/expensive as the smaller scale 1/144 :(
Maybe 1/300 is the scale to invest in after all ;)
