Last night I brush painted the spine and fin. Resting in my airing cupboard since then. Hoping to airbrush tomorrow.

Here's a link to my 2007 conversion of a similar Jetstream T3. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=104094 All of the build shots have gone but the commentary survives. And this is how it finished up. I've never measured the accuracy of any parts.

Very nice model, of an interesting aircraft. Jet Age Museum, Staverton has the cockpit section of G-AWZU another BA Trident 3, formerly long term resident of Stanstead Fire Dump. https://www.facebook.com/100374323379961/photos/ms.c.eJwzNTU3NzAwMzWwtACS5nqmEL6JORAZG5nA~_KYmxobGlpYGAOaUCZY~-.bps.a.554898011260921/557700647647324/?type=1&theater To show people what a Trident actually looks like, I've got an Airfix model, and applied a thin black lacquer everywhere except the bit we've actually got.

Declaring completion: Fujimi 1/72 Messserschmitt Bf110C-1 of ZG76. Thanks - you've encouraged me to build the Bf110 that was lurking in my stash. This is Tim signing off - enjoy the rest of the build.

Undercarriage was installed earlier tonight. And I ventured into a chilly loft to retrieve my Nightfighter Bf110. And head to head.

Parts match sprue maps on Hasegawa and Revell instructions. I've just emailed Pat with photos of both those sets of instructions, so he can go ahead with his build. I also included the colour callouts, so he can paint the details. Looks like his overall finish will be an aftermarket NMF scheme. Best of luck - keep up with the photos.

If it's this one: Then the Orange panels are on a grey option - not the blue one. And to quote my GB thread: I mixed some blue into a tin of Humbrol 127 to blend my Air Superiority Blue

Have you found build instructions yet? It does look more Hasegawa/Revell than Frog, and I've got instructions for both the former.

Great stuff, just right for a boy's bedroom ceiling. Very similar to this F15 in Air Superiority Blue Eagle that I built last year. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234932443-hasegawa-172-f-15a-triple-nickle/page-3

Applied decals today - these are the worst I've used in a VERY lonnng time Crosses replaced with my spares, and we won't be having side codes on this build. And I fitted and framed the canopy.

Earlier this afternoon I applied my base green coat. Then this evening I applied the darker green splinter pattern.

Thanks for notice about the undercarriage. Last night I installed the engines, and painted the underside. That was Air Superiority Blue on an F-15 Eagle I built last year.

Fuselage assembled.

And now my previous form for Lightnings:- quite a lot to take into consideration By kits. Airfix 1/72 F1A. Airfix 1/72 F3. Airfix FSW what-if. Matchbox F2A With those Airfix decals. Matchbox F2A Matchbox F6 Matchbox F6 Matchbox F6 Matchbox T55 - converted to a T5 Matchbox T55 - USAF what-if Matchbox T55 - US Navy what-if My US what-ifs are the same model. USAF one side, US Navy the other. Matchbox T55VG - FAA what-if Hasegawa F6 Revell F6 Airfix 1/48 F3 Airfix 1/48 F6 Airfix 1/48 F3 with Aeroclub T4 conversion applied.

Here's the decal sheet, that restricts me to the silver option. I used the green option decals on a previous Matchbox F2A - the same day as the kit arrived on my doormat. Pilot and seat painted. And fuselage interiors done.

The Horsa I had two towing points at top of each main undercarriage leg - parts are in the kit. The Horsa II had one towpoint at top of the nose leg. Anyway here's my Horsa.

Joining you with another copy of this highly popular kit. And I'll be building this option: A quick view of the parts,

Yes - is that likely the Battle of Britain? Anyway a bit of cockpit painting:

Very nice Dermot - very nice indeed.

A bit of previous form is this Italeri Bf110G4 that I built during the 2010 Nightfighter GB: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/48914-italeri-messerschmitt-bf110g4/ Edited 31 Dec 2014: Added Matchbox Bf110D just retrieved from loft.

Joining you with this Fujimi Bf110c - this was a bagged rather than boxed kit, from Kit Rescue. With these parts and these options. I'm probably going for the sharkmouth option.

Have a look at this thread - where I built a similar kit (Endeavour) in 3 weeks. http://gregers.fr.yuku.com/topic/4704/Model-no-7-Endeavour?page=1 Most of the photos are gone, but you should get some ideas.

Airfix A08001 Avro Lancaster B2 the version with Hercules radial engines. DS842 Fanny Ferkin II No 514 Squadron, 3 Group, RAF November 1944.

Competed - and ready for me to move onto the next. Clearfixed the windows. Fitted the exhausts. Fitted the rear turret guns. and thoroughly enjoyed the build. This is Tim signing off.

Back again following 2 days away working hard at a conference - and partying even harder . Added some 500lb bombs from my resupply set. And a load more details, like cowlings and propellors - just exhausts and rear guns left now.
