Hi folk;s the kit and decals.

Hi folks 3rd kit in dire need of finishing is this beauty picked up earlier this year for a very reasonable £24 sadly due to the demise of a great online dealer,started but boxed up until now. I believe it's a Hasegawa original so quality is assured ind it's molded in a much more user freindly soft plastic than Hasegawa's usual hard as hell stuff.

Morning Folk's not often I do a WIP here as I'm mostly emersed in GB's but I foolishly bought an Italeri F14A then realised if I even got to the painting stage all that white scared the living daylights out of me so ordered a set of decals for some Iranian operated aircraft including a rather nice blue gray updated paint scheme applied in the 2000's.Decal just arrived so photo's and start soon.

Hi folks,fitted the exhust pipe onto the lower fuselage and brush painted the engine cowling over the silver base coat.

Coming along nicely Steve.

Hi folk's here's progress to date,engine fitted and a wash dropped in to bring out the setail,the cowling is a ten piece affair which is a first class fit but is meant to be built piice by piece around the engine,I went the other way and built it first which meant the band of plastic you can see inside had to be cut away to get it over the engine,it worked but if you build one of these stick to ICM's instructions!🙂

Many thanks Toryu,might get a bit done later today!

Looks like the none in this section has romped it,better start looking for a kit🫤

Evening folk's finished and in the Gallery happy to have supported another fine GB,might be back with something later in the GB.

Evening folk's,as I said in the thread not many folk's would have this kit on their wanted list with its origins in Fujimie's 1970's kit has had a partial update by Academy in the form of recessed lines but it's still basic but buildable.

Definitely time for a chopper build from me.

Just caught up with the gallery and what a collection this must be the biggest GB to date surely? Still a few weeks to go but must get City of Truro done just mulling over if I can get the 109 done in time.

Looks superb in the Gallery Pete sorry I missed the thread a cuppa on the boil and about to delve deeper!

One of my favourite Airfix kit's Kir best of luck and great scheme too!

Morning folk's,well this type of painting is way out of my comfort zone but using the airbrush certainly is a better option than a brush! once glossed it will slightly darken used Hataka insignia white sprayed strait from the bottle for the fuselage stripe so next job is glossing once the rest of the wing struts are added.
