Cheers mate, this has been a 'plod along', something simple that, in my present state, didn't matter if it was mucked up lol.

As for under water...not got enough clear resin, besides it may go really wrong and end up looking like Polux's attempt, a brown block

Glad you like it mate.

Si...still a coughing and snivelling.

Yeah, I had got out a E.E.Canberra in 1/72 scale to do...properly

Although the paint scheme was going to me ali/chrome with either a matt blue on the nose and trailing edges and yellow banding. But due to this cold I knew it would end up a right mess so decided to just plod with this model. Something easy, no real concentration involved so enjoyed the build.

This bug is getting on my nerves now. When I cough it it hurting the muscles in my back and due to my disability the pain is even more so...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Like you said, dosed up and drinking a plenty.

You'll be on the mend soon enough mate.

So you've gone for the early paint job I saw an EE lightning the other day in 1/72 and I thought about it but I really struggle with metallic paint jobs I can never get a decent cover on them

I know, just annoying lol.

Yeah, I have a enamel rattle can, once done I will highlight with chrome and then a darker ali for panel lines...well that's the plan. The nose top, leading wing and tailplane edges and front of engine nacelles will be in a matt light blue. The yellow banding will be around the fuselage, near the tail.

Sounds great mate I love those early Cold War jets I want to get a a buccaneer and paint in fleet air arm livery that dark blue/grey and pale grey look was really great , I might see if I can get a 1/48 scale if they make one

Hoping that I can pull it off okay, but as you say, depends if the metallic paint works okay.

Airfix do a 1/48 scale Buccaneer but they can be hard to get and do hold there prices.

That's great I'll get the mrs on the case if they make it she will find it

I'm not worried about price unless it's stupid money I'd pay about £30 for one or a little over that but not much more

IRC the Airfix model is the only maker and they have discontinued it. Prices are around the £30 mark.

You could try the 1/48 Gloster Javelin, that is a nice looking aircraft, around £40 though.
