Thanks for the nice comments chaps.

Now there was a question somewhere in there from Colin about the underside colour. I used White Ensign's "Night" which I like a lot. It has a built in "blueness" which means I don't find myself jumping through hoops trying to make the black less black if you know what I mean. I think I probably post shaded with a lightened version,simply with a drop or two of white in the paint cup,as well.

Cheers

Nice bit of finished work & detailing Steve. Nice to see the rigging so many models are rigging neglected. Think they just give that more realistic workmanlike look.

Like that back drop scene not seen that one. Could you let me know who does that Steve & also the runway finish ? Got to get another shelf kitted out these 1/48 are space eaters.

The backscene is one (or two) of the Peco ones. A railway modeller put me on to them. He's since shown me some which come in bigger continuous lengths by Gaugemaster which I will look at as the join is hard to hide. I only stick them up temporarily and then roll them up to save space.

The "concrete" is a very thin skim of grey tile grout which I found in the shed. It's the type you mix with water and must have been left by the builders who built my "studio". Very useful! It looks quite concrete like when dry and will take tyre marks or oil stains okay.

Where have I been? :emo6:

Even though its an old kit Steve, in capable hands they turn out rather fine looking models

and you only set other modellers off wanting another one then another and another...lol

The back drop really sets the old gal' off.

They go together nicely. I remember a little bit of messing about with the engine nacelles, but that was about it.

Naaaaah, I don't believe it. Give it a go, it makes a nice big model. The main problem will be working out where to put it !
