Well you got your monies worth in plastic there, maybe be not quality, but quantity. Encore, a name I'll remember for the future. But anyway, the point is you are showing it who is the boss. Great effort, keep going.

This aircraft is going to one that served in the Turkish Airforce.

A. because i dont have anything from that airforce

B. because it with leave me with some spare RAF decals which are always handy

and

C. because that craft didnt have the PE ariels fitted and im not wasting them on this POS

[Guest]

the wing light isnt the best fit

camo done, klear applied, decals to come later

[Guest]

Way to beat that kit into submission Wayne,coming along nicely!

[Guest]

decals for turkish air force applied, the decals are probably the only bit of the kit thats any good haha

slight weathering and matt varnish to finish.

Might see about making it part of a "mobile" for the grandsons bedroom.

Do you think that is wise Wayne? With all that filler and putty, if it fell off it would crush the poor blighters skull and you would need iron cable to hold it up ha ha

Jokeing aside great work on this kit well beaten into shape

[Guest]

you could be right, the engine nacelles alone weight a couple of pounds LOL

if nothing else its been a learning experience.

[Guest]

well its finally finished or as finished as i could get it.

If you squint it doesnt look too bad LOL

It doesn't look good at all. It looks great! Nicely recovered Wayne, you should be very proud of the finished result considering the kit quality (or lack thereof, perhaps 'Encore' spell quality with a K?).

[Guest]

it looks ok in the pics but doesnt stand up to close scrutiny.

Thanks for the comments Joe, much appreciated

Nicely bashed into shape wayne! You would never be able to tell what a dog this kit is from looking at the finished result , great work . I reckon the grand kiddy is going to love it , cheers tony

[Guest]
