This is as far as I've got with this one, but it's now put on hold until I can get a new canopy for it, due to the fact that it's got 2 small cracks in it.

 

[papa 695]

Well Airfix have turned up trumps. I sent them an email about the cracked canopy on Tuesday evening, they sent me one back Wednesday asking for a photo of the box production code and cracked canopy. Which I did the same day. Then Friday morning the postman delivered the new canopy.

 

[papa 695]

Got this just about ready for priming, just got to get the two side doors done.

 

[papa 695]

Got this one all primed up.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Just caught up with this build Ian, looking damn good sir.

 

[papa 695]

It's now painted green.

 

[flyjoe180]

Looking good Ian!

 

[papa 695]

Ive been slowly getting all the stencils on.

 

[grumpa]

EXCELLENT work Ian, so sorry I don't normally look into aviation related stuff, being an old mud grubbing tanker.
So much attention to detail!....great dedication my friend!

Cheers, Jim

I've now finished getting all the decals on bar 1, which needs to go onto an aerial once I've painted and fitted it.

 

[PhilJ]

Nice

 

[flyjoe180]

Always one little stencil to go isn't there, one of the hobby's chores for sure. Looking good Ian.

 

[papa 695]

Well this one is nearing completion just a few little bits and bobs to put on.

 

[papa 695]

Only got to get the door hinges sorted out then this one is completed.
