Some pictures haven’t come across from the old site, so here’s a catch up.

I’ve now got the top coat on.

**papa 695** · 21 September 2024, 08:27

Now ready for decals.

One of the most recognisable shapes of any aircraft. Looks very nice. Your masking skills are top notch.

Ian, really taking shape now.

**flyjoe180** · 21 September 2024, 20:22

Looking good Ian, it's a lovely kit

**papa 695** · 22 September 2024, 00:09

Yes Joe, a kit I highly recommend.

**papa 695** · 27 September 2024, 18:28

Went to put the decals on, and found out that most of the decals where missing, got in touch with Airfix and the kit is discontinued so no spare decals. I’ve managed to source most from the spares box, but missing these.the underside black lines.

but like I said got the others sorted.

Nice Ian, seems like you have a lot of useful stuff in your spare box!

I'm sure with a bit of masking you can get those lines done with the airbrush, have fun cheers

Taking shape nicely

Always liked seeing a lightning in green.......suits it some how

**flyjoe180** · 28 September 2024, 02:25

Great job Ian. Those lines are about the thickness of the border lines found on some decal sheets, I’ve used them for 1/72 Spitfire walkways
