      Still ticking along with these. After a bit of detail painting, I hit both airframes with a coat of clear gloss. Then after a day to cure I have this afternoon being having fun with the decals.

          So, after sealing in the decals and a bit of light weathering - mostly just some very gentle sooty streaks - I have given both airframes a coat of VMS satin....

          That really only leaves all the fiddly little bits to be added, so the next updates will be in the completed section. Thanks for looking in....

          Nick.

                    They both look excellent Nick ?

                    Nice to see how these older kits can be turned into good looking models with a bit of TLC.

                    Geoff.

                      Thanks Geoff. It was a pleasant surprise to me how they turned out too.
