trickyrich Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 welcome aboard with your second build, I actually have the some model for a seperate build in the Whiffy section.......long story! I do like these "Have Glass" schemes, I'm very tempted to build one so this is another build I'll be following with interest. Good luck with this one and I look forward to seeing her in the gallery too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 A little update, canopy on but the vertical stabiliser isn't glued on yet. I forgot to add the JHMCS sensor in the cockpit before I glued it, D'oh! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'm impressed, 3 builds on the go and all in 1/48. This is the scheme I most looking forward to seeing as the color is a bit unusual from the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
