Looks right from this angle too Mr. Smiff....now git the "bits" on this crate, it's on the Go list for the next mission! :thumb2::thumb2:

Cheers Rick,"bits" are on, just gotta sort the canopy out this afternoon

Thats looking mighty fine andy , the USN three tone scheme always looks really nice , looking forward to the canopy unmasking , cheers tony

Thanks Tony,it is a nice scheme, however,2 in a row is enough for a while though... It was tricky to mask up

Looking good to me.

Andy.

Cheers Andy,much appreciated

Love it Andy, it looks fantastic :thumb2:

Geoff.

Thanks Geoff, hopefully with all the other stuff on,and the wash rubbed back, it'll look the part.

And the gray hairs are getting longer......and longer!!!...

Thank you very much Chris, I'm pleased you like it....
... Watch on mind ....

Ok then all you reprobates,(and you Rick )....
Tis now "finished",....or as I class finished anyway!
... This has been a cracking little kit, despite it's age,and went together rather well,(apart from the canopy bits right at the end :tired, anyway,I like this three part camo scheme, although as previously said,the masking was a bit tricky,so two builds in a row with it is enough for a while :nerd:, anyway, enough of my ramblings...
... ere be pics,(just a few indoor ones....too windy this evening for outdoor ones!)...







.... So there you go,all done now,2 done from me for Karl's GB.A big thanks to him for organising it... and I hope your family circumstances are improving mate :thumb2:
So,back to the kit, I'd certainly recommend it, for the money and quality it's a " must try" imho .
Thanks to all for looking in and your comments/thoughts along the way, cheers for now,
Andy

Well done Andy, and absolute belter of a finish mate, I'd even go so far as to say 'your best wingy thingy yet'... take a bow young man.... :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2:

[Mini Me]

Just bootyful Mr. Smiff!

Great result Andy :thumb2:

[Waspie]

Superb build Andy.

Come on then? What's next on the list????

[Tim Marlow]

Great stuff. That will compliment the Avenger nicely mate.

[Allen Dewire]

Well, after 2 bottles of Grecian Hair Formula, it's finally done and we have pics, Mr Smiff!!! I do have to admit that you and Cohan have done a fabulous job on her and the finish is also quite nice. I take it you didn't have a figgie to show it's size for a comparison. Maybe a pic with the TB3 as a reference? Great build Andy!!!...See you in the land of the rising sun next month......................

Well Andy you've got to be happy with that. I'd call that a cracking result. Cockpit details are superb.

[stillp]

That's excellent Andy.

[Neil Merryweather]

That, Mr Smiff, is a VERY tidy build, sir, and one to be proud of!
