Another MA bod :rolleyes:

You can't beat the Raspberry Ripples, I've got a RR Jag and Hunter on my desk at work.

I'll second that any aircraft looks good in Raspberry ripple.

I'd love to do RR Jag had a good look around it over at Cosford.

On the home straight now only a few hurdles to overcome and on to the finish line......

All but one decal on. The model Alliance decals were wonderful settled down nicely even over the vortex generators and unusually no problems encountered

Once all the decals where on and dried I picked out most of the panel lines on the white and the control surfaces on the red with a pencil and gave the model a quick matt coat.

Next I started to add all the little components and the air brake this is where thing went wrong. Whilst attaching the air brake with superglue I managed to get it over the back end.......

Luckily it did not go over the decal so tomorrow will hopefully be able to sand back and respray.

So all the little bits are on just to paint them the undercarriage and reapint the back and she's done.......

Thanks for the photos, its not the same aircraft unfortunately but they do make me wish I had done my model inflight.

Almost there, just a few small details to do and the undercarriage doors to go on. Mostly been working on the base today.....

One of the last things I would like to do is add remove before flight tags to the model but I'm not sure were most of them would go! Can anyone tell me where they would go?

Cheers Andrew

I'm calling this done. RBF tags are on (well at least some are) and I added a GPU power caple to the base whilst doing this though I managed to knock off a sensor and an antenna and they have been taken by the carpet monster.

All in all this build has been an enjoyable one at times it was hard to stay motivated but I think it was worth it in the end. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Cheers Andrew :D
