[papa 695]

With my Airacobra just about finished, I’m going to start this.

I’m going for the box art version.

I have this in the stash Ian. Looks rather nice!,,,

 

[papa 695]

Made a start on this one. Got he cockpit and IP painted.

Not that you’ll see much.

Looks a nice kit Ian. Nice start on the cockpit

 

[Jim R]

I like these newer Airfix kits. Pretty simply but go together well. Looks like you've made a fine start. Will you use the black and white decals on paint the stripes.

That panel looks good considering the size :thumb2:

I’m going to paint them on Jim.

 

[papa 695]

Got the two halves put together, and the wings.

 

[papa 695]

Got it all put together, and started the spinner and blades.

 

[Guest]

Grand progress Ian.

 

[papa 695]

Thanks John.
Got the spinner all painted, and got the black base on the Tempest.

 

[Steve Brodie]

coming on nicely, great feature on the uk restored one in the latest flypast magazine.

 

[papa 695]

Thought I’d spray some black and white paint about.

I also did a little blob of sky.

 

[Steve Brodie]

oh thats gonna look good

 

[adt70hk]

Looking very good indeed Ian!

Next time time I do one with invasion stripes I'll definitely paint them on. I've even found a small UK business that does them precut to the right width at various scales in kabuki tape and bought a set at a show.

Now got all the painting done, and ready for decals.

[Geoffers]

That looks superb Ian

[papa 695]

Got all the decals on, and there are quite a few small ones.
