Nice build Ian, this has turned out beautifully,

A real tribute to the original aircraft and the sad story behind her. The pictures really show her off brilliantly.

Thank you Chris.

Thanks Tony.
Yes the do spray well and ALWAYS give a good finish. I thin them with just a drop or three of water...I think Hannants still sell them. Bit of a hassle for me though. We had ONE shop in DK that had them but that has now closed.

Very nice Ian, gives me something to hope for !

Cheers. You can do it!

Great work Ian, many thanks for joining in.

Thank you and thank you. It is a well attended GB great idea.

Beautiful build and beautiful aircraft. Remember walking around and watching the one that was based at Hatfield BAe Establishment when I worked there many moons ago.

Excellent build Ian. That’s come out very well and is a fitting tribute to a tragic occurrence.

Here you go. Medium sea grey for the underside, dark green and camouflage grey for the top. (probably should be Dark sea grey).
Maybe not 100% the correct grey for the top but close enough.

Thanks Ian. I thought most were done in a 3 tone finish. My AV set didn't come with FS 639, so I'll have to fake conjure up something for the underside color...

BS 639? That a typo?

The AV set should have both the greys, it is the fighter set I take it..

Top camouflage in dark green and ocean grey, bottom in medium sea grey .

[Allen Dewire]

Sorry Ian, no typo. It's the AV set #71145, Bomber and Training Command 1939-45. It comes with BS 450, 241, 642, 637, 210, 283, 356 and FS 34373. No biggie, as I can whip up a good substitute for the BS 639 in my secret underground lab!!!..........
