Great to see another classic kit getting built Ian. I think youll be pleasantly surprised at how well these old frog kits go together , if its anything like the vengeance it should build lovely. Interesting to see the decal sheet too, what with me being in a bit of an aussie spell at the moment, are you going to do the RAAF version or the british ? cheers tony

Cockpit done [ATTACH]49847.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]49848.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]49849.vB[/ATTACH] just needs weathering

Had to do some work on the bomb bay doors [ATTACH]49850.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]49851.vB[/ATTACH] the stand hole ( thats not supplyed ) had to be filled in just cut and shaped some sprue then over coated with squadron green will sand it when fully cured

and had to cut some of the props off so it would fit [ATTACH]49852.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]49853.vB[/ATTACH]

Sorted the seamlines, primed and pre-shaded [ATTACH]50731.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]50732.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]50733.vB[/ATTACH] Not the best pre-shading. But it doesn't need to be neat

Just had a good root in the spare decals stash Ian , but nothing for a 1/72 mossie. What i have found however, is a couple of sheets with thin red lines on them .It would mean making the no step marking out of 6 seperate pieces but it might be slightly easier than trying to paint them. Have a look at the pics and if you want them theyre yours , (except the bit of sheet for the civil registered piper cherokee, i need that for the model!!) cheers tony
