Thanks all.

Yes, very pleased for such a small one. I can't count the number of times I broke the guns and other tubes off :smiling5:
 
Very nice indeed Andy. Tamiya decals are renowned for being rubbish so don't worry.
 
Andy, I think I saw your build in the construction section, the bands wrinkled up and tore? Nice recovery, painted I am guessing? Quite often I think painted bands look better in the end, so maybe it was, in a weird way, for the best?

Thanks Joe. Yes, I painted them in the end. I went with decals first as I need the practice, but since that went badly wrong I resorted to spraying them. Not quite perfect but close enough :smiling3:
 
Andy

That really is looking rather nice. You should be very proud of yet another great model!!

Very well done.

Cheers Andrew.

It could have been better as I lost interest after the decal incident so didn't bother cleaning up the pitot tubes and other bits that went on last, I just slapped them on straight from the sprue, but the blurry pictures help to hide all that:smiling5:
 
Another tiny Tamiya - nice finish. It really doesn't look as small as 1:72.

Thanks Colin.

Our TV cabinet is starting to get overrun with models so the small size helps! :smiling5:
