The remove before flight tags give realism


The white metal undercarriage ( is it really worth it

This is going to be another masterpiece! I will watch this build with wide open eyes!

That cockpit looks real nice, I remember buying a phantom a few years back in the same scale and from Revell and the fit was terrible.

I have a set of PE "Remove Before Flight" tags I will never use if you want them Adrian, I believe they are 1/35 scale but at that sive I guess it won't make a spit of a difference. If you want them PM me your address and I'll put them in an envelope and post them off to you.

Wow very kind of you Peter, PM on its way

Couple of nice bright pictures


Seems a bit alien to me to be spraying an aircraft in anything other than drab colours


I'll post more pictures as soon as the masking comes off.

Its almost Dennis the menace! good work mate, very nice paint work so far

I like it! So satisfying to see something other than camouflage going onto a military jet.

Well, I followed the painting instructions and then went to apply the decals,


I had around 8 decals all nicely on when I noticed the next one wold leave a 3mm gap.


This means the bright orange will show a strip where it should be black,


I've thought about masking and painting the black but think it will show with it been a gloss black.


I've emailed Revell in hopes that I can get some more decals, if I can I will remove the ones I've done already and respray the paint but leaving a wider line.


Here's a quick pic,, basically the black should be full at the leading edge.

Right now it's boxed up and put away till I get my mojo back


Any advice, comments more than welcome.

I'd just paint it Adrian, if you applied a gloss coat over the model it should blend in.

I'd go with that as well........

I've considered this, but if you look close at the rear of the tail and the rear of the wing, I should have set the decal 3mm backward, now I'd have to also mask and paint the checks to match up.


What I'm saying is I buggered it up, should have started with the rear tail decal and worked forward.
