Thank you Andrew :thumb2:

Looking forward to “bringing it to life” now by getting the camo on :smiling4:

Hello Chaps,

Sorry I’ve not updated for a while, unfortunately over the summer I completely lost any interest in getting any bench time

However I have been getting a bit done of late and now John has told me how to post pics I thought I’d better add a quick update as to where the build is up to.

Painting is all done,completed with AK Real Colors - Med Sea Grey for the underside while the upper camo is Ocean Grey and RAF Dark Green.


I’ve moved on to the decals now which is taking a bit longer than usual due to trying to get the spacing right for the invasion stripes.

No chance of me finishing it before the end of the GB unfortunately

Geoff.

Nice little kit isn’t it? And fun to build. I really enjoyed doing mine.

Looking good Geoff - it's a great little kit isn't it, I have one on the go as well.

Missed the start of this Geoff but just had a catch up. Looks a nice kit and it's come together well. Very nice paint job. Do you still intend to paint on the invasion stripes? Good luck with the decals.

There she is in paint. I fully understand what you mean about summer. There's always so many other things to steal your time. I'n a strange way, I look forward to the darker nights, just to get building again.

Cheers Arnie. Must be one of Airfix’s best recent 1/72 kits

Geoff.

 

[Geoffers]

Thanks Ian, bit late for the end of the GB but better late than never I suppose

 

[Geoffers]

Cheers Jim, yes I’m planning on hand painting them to give a bit of a rougher finish, hopefully they will turn out ok

Geoff.

 

[Geoffers]

Thanks Colin, colder weather, darker nights yes the “modelling season” is definitely back with us now

Hello Gents,

More progress to report, the transfers are all on now.

They are Cartograph I think so as you would expect settled down very nicely with a bit of Micro Sol and Set.
The fiddliest ones were the underwing roundels and yellow wing leading edge markings but this was mainly due to me gluing the rocket racks in place before painting. I won’t be doing that again with any future builds .

Here are the pics.


I’m going to give it a clear coat next to protect the transfers from the masking I’m going to do to enable the invasion stripes to be painted.

Thanks for looking

Geoff.
