Thats looking superb andy , the paint is amazing . Nice job sorting the see through engines . If you fancy a larger scale then Monogram did a lovely 1/48 version , best to look out for it in a Revell boxing though to ensure good decals ( the older Monogram ones look great - until they hit the water and start to disintegrate a bit !) cheers tony

Holy smokes you build fast?!

Thanks Tony. I've looked at that one and also the trumpeter which is a much newer kit. Not sure that would necessarily make it any better though.

Thank you. I do tend to get carried away if I'm enjoying a particular build and spend far too much time in the shed!

Decals always see to bring a plane to life. This looks great.

Did I expect anything less ,no, that my friend is tops.

Top notch finish as always Andy. Great stuff!

That's a great paint finish Andy

[Andy T]

Thanks all.

I had to work today :surprised: then was dragged to the pub by my better half, so no progress. Should be cracking on with it again tomorrow though.

Andy,
That is looking the nuts.

Nice work Andy. I didn't realise the inner gear doors were only down during transit, I followed the instructions on mine. Ah well.

Looking great, can't wait to see it loaded up

Thanks Paul.

Thanks. I didn't know until I saw a walkaround video where the guy mentioned it. Looking at a few other pics confirmed it.

You mentioned earlier about the various antenna. Can I ask what you used? I'm toying between a guitar string or trying to stretch some sprue really thin. Most of what I have is too thick for the scale.

Thanks Paul.

Hi Andy,

For antennas I use pole fishing float wire. Comes in 15cm straight lengths and gos down to about 0.15mm.

Just had a very enjoyable catch up with this one Andy,a cracking job mate,and even better when considering the scale!!:astonished:
Top stuff .
