Looking good I'm managing the paint ok so far (famous last words) on my sea king. I might be tempted into building something else after this one.

That is looking rather splendid, even with 'limited' resources. Everybody says the 'free' paint is rubbish.

Hi sorry it's me again, finish all the hairy stick work and touching up just the canopy and decals to do.













I hope you like it, it's not to good in places as you can see sorry but it's the best I can do with what was supplied in the box.

Hi if you think the paint and gule are not that good, you will have fun with the decals.

Got the decals on.











Just the cockpit to paint and then I'm out of here.

Hi Pete
That looks very nice especially given the Starter Kit challenge
The decals look to have gone on well. Any problems with them going onto a brush painted Matt surface?

Hi Jim take a bit of soaking to start with and if possible use paper towel and pat them dry, I found using cotton buds it rolled the decal off.

Hi Ian, almost there with this one, I think I chose the right the right kit, one of two people seem to be having trouble with their paints and painting or it might be that I'm used to brush painting as I only brush paint, I don't if !

Well done in being first past the post and a great result looking at that you would never know it was a starter kit.

Hi Pete
Very nice indeed. Brush painting large areas is a skill you have but it is a dark, lost art to us hizzy stick owners. From what I have seen of others work in this GB I also think the user friendliness of the paint in these starter kits varies a lot. My black is great but the metallics are rather iffy.
