tonyot Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Hiya Folks, Another one which has been gathering dust, partially painted since the middle of last year,....I`ve got around to finishing it now! DSCF2120_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2127_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2124_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2138_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2120_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2116_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2092_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2093_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2115_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF2070 by Tony OToole, on Flickr 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 Tony Edited December 17, 2017 by tonyot 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 That looks splendid, as usual. The KP MkVb is a lovely little kit isn't it? I'm looking forward to their MkVc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Very nice indeed. You don't often see them in Soviet markings. A great pint finish as usual. 2 hours ago, Beard said: 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!?

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?
