Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement practice makes perfect as they say and without trials and tribulations then improvement will not follow knowing your own mistakes is half the battle and I've made a few but feel I've turned mine around a little on this one. As for the smell Mike it's not one of my favourite odours and I always wear this View attachment 87925

once again thanks to everyone regards John

I hope to have this finished. thanks for looking in and any comments cheers John ..........Strangely I am aching to do another bmf plane :eek:View attachment 87964

That's looking superb now John! The canopy is brilliant, can't be easy masking up the curves.

Well folks I finally got this finished. The kit itself is really good as nice details and fits together very well would recommend it highly. The problems started when I started playing with it as reported in my earlier posts on this thread with the bmf but feel I've somewhat rescued it from my 1st attempt. I made a simple base and added a couple of figures thanks for looking and comments that you leave cheers everyone John View attachment 88951

Great build and display John. A unique colour scheme, it really does look good.

 

[phikoleoputra]

Nice looking Sabre there. Great job mate!!!!

 

[tr1ckey66]

That look very good John.

The model looks well finished and the scheme is really interesting and well executed.

The base I think is really fabulous not least because the space is used so well. No space is empty yet it doesn't seem crowded either. The elements work very well together and the figures look great.

Superb stuff

Great work John it looks fantastic and a great fix with the Alclad. Just like Tony I think the base sets it off nicely
