Coming together very well Paul

the grey came out a little too dark, miscalculation of my own fault but cant do much about it now


decals went on great...thought i would have some problems since they are around 25+ years old


next step is a matt coat all over then i can do final assembly

Nice work Paul. The grey isn't too much darker than it should be in those photos. Looks sharp with the roundels on.

ive got it finished, just need to take some pics

 

[PaulTRose]

and finished.....


cant beleive i added loads of weight in the nose, i even left out the crew since you couldnt see them and filled it with plasticine and .44 lead balls......and its still a tail sitter!!! lol.....must be well known for it since Airfix even include a jack to stick under the tail


thoroughly enjoyed doing this to be honest, im getting a liking for doing really old kits, nostalgia i guess


more pics in the finished thread
