Nicely done Neil, you're seeing this pig of a kit off in great fashion. MIne still sits idle and top side unpainted, not enough hours in ther day with work and now I am dragged out house hunting.

Hi all, just a quick update. As you can see, I've got a bit of colour on it at last !!! They needed a bit of work, but I have to say the decals went on a lot better than I was expecting. The only real problems I had were around the nose cone and the fairing underneath, but that was only to be expected. I've got a bit of touching up to do in places, but then it should be onto the final bits and pieces - I think the end may be in sight!!!!

Cheers, Neil

Its been an epic struggle neil but it looks like youve well and truly beaten it! The decals look great but i can imagine they were just as much aggro as the build , keep at it mate it looks excellent , cheers tony

Hi all. It's now on its wheels !! Main gear is all done, just got to do the nose gear doors. Also chucked in a couple of pic of the nose decals, the only dodgy bit on it really, but given the complex shapes involved, it's not come out too bad. I'm experimenting with washes just for the main flying surfaces, to help it not too toy-like. I'm also going to try a satin finish and see how that looks.
