Cheers for now,

Andy that’s sweet if you don’t become a “Wingy Guy” after this build we may have to call Matron. Nice choice.

I'm going to avoid using most of the Tamiya decals by substituting Montex insignia masks that are included in their mask set. Tamiya kits are generally quite superb but their decals let them down and I can't stand the staples on their sprue bags. :angry:

Too true. I was leaning towards the bomber variant only because the PR version is a bit bland colour-wise.

I’m going for the PR version.

Glad you’re going in Andy, the more the merrier.

You, Andy, are a very very bad man! OK, I just bought a Tamiya 1/48 Mk VI, so can I play :nerd:

Not sure what markings yet, but I’ve seen a set for Len Cheshire’s ride, so that’s tempting…..

Great to hear your joining us Tim.

Mine will be this one:

Bought at the Southwell show a few years ago for some ridiculously low price - £12 I think. I splashed out on a set of Montex canopy masks, which added another fiver.

I’m going for the PR version.

Then it's the bomber version for me then.

[Ian M]

Hmm... can't find my sky serial numbers. I see fun with masking tape in ny near future?
Luckily all straight lined letters for this one.

[Geoffers]

I’ll be going with this:


I’m thinking of getting an aftermarket decal sheet though to make it a bit more interesting.

Geoff.

Bought mine this week off eBay should be here soon it’s a oldie but not to sure about the goodie part. Should be a good experience for me as I never built one I rather mess a cheap kit up that a hard to get expensive one.

Excellent choice Pete:thumb2:,
I SERIOUSLY considered this one ....... it was just the size needed for the completed build that prevented me:flushed:!!
Looking forward to seeing you take it on.

Got any more info on the "Montex insignia mask" sets please Miguel?.......
..... The decals for my 1/48th Tamiya are going to need replacing also:thumb2:,

I've just realised that I've also signed on for two 'winged beasty' GBs even though I'm now a Trackie - very disturbing - more so when I notice all the good kits and variants have been snapped up by you experts already! I'm afraid you're all going to have to suffer my duplicate attempts as I'm going to try and hide in the corner and not get noticed! Onwards and upwards chaps!
