Nicely done Mick.

A nice simple scheme to mask and probably the most simple scheme possible other than a one colour scheme like PRU blue.

Very well done.

Good heavens Mick. An F16 followed by a Star Fighter, were we separated at birth or something ?

Hi Mick
I hope you and your good lady are fully recovered.
Nice progress and doesn't she look good with a coat of paint. A very simple colour scheme but somehow suits this "rocket"

Pssssst Mick,

I don't want to be the spoiler here, but I think you used the wrong parts for the landing gear...............Just saying...............
BTW, the coat looks nice and smooth too!!!

Prost

Thanks for the initial panic as I went back to look at the pathetic offering they call destructions then the penny dropped thanks again

Mick. I’ll be seated between Andrew and John. Nice build you have going on I like all the goodies you have to offer on this kit. The Starfighter is one of my favorite Jets of the Sixty's.

Hi Mick, irregardless of the poor destruction sheet it went together without any destruction. Didn't I say it was a nice kit...one of the best as many of my modelling friends have said. I must confess Kinetic do have some nice kits.
Glad you're enjoying the build even if Allen drops a few scares now and then. We can't let things go smoothly can we?

Cheers,
Richard

Apart from the main canopy the build is complete. The next minor parts problem was the clear sprue, several of the parts didn’t resemble the parts on the instructions but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised now
Just some framing to add to the canopy then another clear coat so I can do a bit of weathering.

Don't decals make a huge difference to a model? Especially on such a low-vis scheme. Looks great Mick.

They certainly do Pete, I’ve wanted to do something Luftwaffe for quite a while as the markings really look good.
