As usual it was brush painted, but I had a slight hiccup with the decals which I only noticed while taking the finished pictures,...doh! I know that there is some doubt about whether this aircraft actually had the lightning stripe down the side of the fuselage and in the photo of the real aircraft that I used as reference it is not clear,...and it probably wasn`t applied,..in fact I have a feeling that the stripes might just be parks on the photo... but I liked it,...so decided to run with it!  Here is the photo of the real thing,.....as posted by Troy;

All the best

Very nice indeed.  You don't often see them in Soviet markings.  A great pint finish as usual.

That looks splendid, as usual. The KP MkVb is a lovely little kit isn't it? I'm looking forward to their MkVc.

 

They're doing a Vc!?  Huzzah!

I think you put the wrong Flickr link in,  as this one works.

 It sure is,.....I was highly impressed and the news that they are doing a Mk.Vc is brilliant thank you! 

 

All the best

How? I can't get Flickr to let me copy links on iPad or Android.

I had to use the `BBCode' option to share the photos rather than the usual `share' option.

This has come about since Britmodeller was down on Friday,.... so maybe there is a setting gone wrong?

Thanks, I'll have to fire-up my laptop because using the BBCode isn't an option on the iPad or Android apps.

I still do not see how can I use this option...

Spit very nice. Frankly speaking I prefere roundels over red stars, but - still looks great!

Cheers
