spaddad Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'ts looking good but for a true nostalgia build (from before you even knew there were paints, let alone being let loose with them) that unpainted blue with the decals applied direct would have made a truly outstanding model, easily visible from Chester, maybe even Durham. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi folk's couldn't leave it I had to see how the decal's would fare,sadly despite a week in the sun couldn't get the brown out of the backing film so trawled through the Tempest photos on the net to see if I could give her a real ID from spare's before a what if was the only route,I had an old Whirlwind sheet from Bilek and found a photo http://newchurchvillage.org/history/newchurch-ww2/squadron-photo-gallery/486-squadron/ third photo down on the left notice no codes and the rough painted outline on the F. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSH Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 looking very sharp, the hand painted 'F' adds a feeling of authenticity to model, very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This one is taking on a good air of authenticity Steve. Keep on this pace and you'll have them done before you realise it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It's good to see a Newchurch-based aircraft. A friend of mine lives there and I knew a bloke who used to sell eggs to the airmen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
