Now 'that' is a high conspicuity paint scheme!







Hats off to mister Tamiya-san for his remarkable masking tape

Miko (this aircraft is representative not of A' flight or C' flight but 'Bee flight! Ha!)

Nice build Miko. I think I have the same one on the way but it’s not the gift set. I’ll be watching closely on your build looks pretty easy

Yep, pretty straightforward, but as Steve mentioned earlier some parts are a little tight and need test fitting then maybe a swipe with a file, the wing halves being a case in point, the wing tips need some attention to get them to close together properly, but, on the whole it's a well engineered kit, perhaps too engineered creating detail that will never be seen, the fine and perfectly formed rudder pedals for example. not sure why Airfix do this, but I pleased that they do

I'm so tempted to call this one done, in 'what if' world it would be a remotely operated drone, the only reason I'm saying this is I still need to paint the framing of the 'greenhouse' like canopy!



Apart from the canopy framing there's still some detail painting and the oh so easily knocked off underwing pitot head!

Miko (the full explanation of why it's so 'bee' like will be made clear, and nope, not a target tug)

Ahh, NOW it makes sense
