Amazing! Getting decals to fit around missiles is hard enough in 1/72.

I take my hat off to you Sir, a fantastic build in such a small scale. I struggle with 1:72.

Finally got some time in the shed so i managed to get this over the line. There were only a few tiny things to do but it seems to have taken ages . I was not really happy with the thickness of the kit supplied outrigger doors , so off they came and were replaced with some very thin half round strip. I also spent a long time making the tiny ’apparent wind indicator ‘ that sits prominently on the nose just in front of the windscreen from the thinnest stretched sprue i could manage. Last to be done was a wash on the undercarriage , the blade aerial and the sealant line round the rear canopy and it was finished .There were a few bits left over - I didnt bother using the supplied drop tanks as I felt they would have hidden the nicely detailed jet nozzles and the supplied laser designator is only used if bombed up ( which the spanish ones rarely ( if ever ) are .)This has been a fantastic little kit , superbly detailed ,great fit , I cant recommend it highly enough , just make sure youve got a good magnifier!! Heres a few pics to finish the thread , ill put the rest on a completed thread , thanks for looking , cheers tony
