This is looking absolutely superb Ian , i'm really going to look for one of these . The PE details and skilful painting look brilliant , as does the pit. I always liked the look of the "Hun" it seems to be doing Mach 2 just standing still! and that massive Hoover pipe air intake looks like it would suck up unsuspecting ground crew for breakfast!! tony

This is looking great. Nice work on the pit and the rescribing.

Excellent build I would say.

Love the way you have highlighted panels, still have a lot to learn.

A real silver bullet now Ian, looking sharp.

Ive been waiting to see this one Ian. Like dave I love the later monogram kits , a lot of them were excellently detailed for their time and can still hold their head up today. I reckon the decals should be ok , I like the look of the big red lightning flash! cheers tony

Well Tony the decals are shot, no matter how long I left the decals in to soak they wouldn't come off the backing paper and I couldn't get the black ink off either.

So some more are on order as we speak ( well type anyway )

[Guest]

[Dave W]

Yes gone for the same decal option but from extra decal so should be a lot better than the really old ones I've got

If this is of interest, 'Flypast' magazine this month have done big feature on the 'Hun' with some really good photo references!
