    Nicely done Mick.

    A nice simple scheme to mask and probably the most simple scheme possible other than a one colour scheme like PRU blue.

    Very well done.

          Good heavens Mick. An F16 followed by a Star Fighter, were we separated at birth or something ?

              Hi Mick
              I hope you and your good lady are fully recovered.
              Nice progress and doesn't she look good with a coat of paint. A very simple colour scheme but somehow suits this "rocket"

                  Thanks for the initial panic as I went back to look at the pathetic offering they call destructions then the penny dropped thanks again

                        We're getting there Jim, just a couple of after effects that are refusing to budge but its early days and thank you.

                          Mick. I’ll be seated between Andrew and John. Nice build you have going on I like all the goodies you have to offer on this kit. The Starfighter is one of my favorite Jets of the Sixty's.

                            Hi Mick, irregardless of the poor destruction sheet it went together without any destruction. Didn't I say it was a nice kit...one of the best as many of my modelling friends have said. I must confess Kinetic do have some nice kits.
                            Glad you're enjoying the build even if Allen drops a few scares now and then. We can't let things go smoothly can we? :tears-of-joy:

                            Cheers,
                            Richard

                              Apart from the main canopy the build is complete. The next minor parts problem was the clear sprue, several of the parts didn’t resemble the parts on the instructions but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised now
                              Just some framing to add to the canopy then another clear coat so I can do a bit of weathering.

                                That really is looking very nice indeed.
