murfv Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Folks There have been a few top class builds of the recent Airfix Jet Provost posted in RFI of late so I decided to post my humble contribution. I give you the recent Airfix 1/72 Jet Provost T3 finished in Light Aircraft Gray(from the Mr.Hobby range) and decals from the Xtradecal set for the Airfix Kit. The hi-vis markings were for the most part ok to use but getting them to follow the curve of the leading edge of the wing was less than successful with the solid areas of dayglo decals being quite rigid and brittle which resulted in cracking and splitting of the decal. I patched up the dayglo as best I could and touched up the damaged decals with some dayglo paint. I did attempt to add some of the vents/air scoops to the fuselage but did not correct the canopy as I had finished painting before I read about the canopy framing being an internal feature, for noting on the next one. Thanks for looking 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Séan Pádraig Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Beautiful model you've built there. . . I have always liked this aircraft even getting to sit in one. I do wish the Irish had used them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murfv Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Thanks for the positive comments and 'likes' folks, they are very much appreciated. As to the idea of Jet Provost in Irish markings, this is something I have given some thought to and will be taking further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
