Yes same kit Pete that's the other option on the sheet and it looks nice too.

Hi folk's here's the sprues. I did a bit cockpit work a year or two ago just some harness to add and still within the 25% rule.

Hi folk's this has sat in the stash for ages so time the beast was set free,records galore and a few first's too.A simple kit with minimal parts but a few idea's to liven up the the painting in mind.box art for now spru shots ASAP.No drone version mind!

Afternoon Folk's,mask on,mask off and lower surfaces finished. Aifix decals are now up there with the best and they seem to be overtaking even the AM guys I wonder if there may be an extra income in Airfix branded decals to compliment their kits the way Esci used to.

Hi all,with the Hawk done and Gripen going well a start on another simple kit but complex scheme.

Hi folk's,if there's a good side to covid it means being housebound has meant more time at the bench so more Progress on the Gripen.

Hi folk's a bit of colour for such a dreary day,built for the prototype/special scheme GB a classic Red Arrows Hawk,thanks for looking in. Been a colourful GB for me so far with a few more planned.

Hi folk's a good old Red Arrow Hawk from the newer Airfix kit.

Hi folk's last touches done should be in the Gallery soon............on with the next one!

Just masked and painted Ray Airfix never marked or molded it into the glazing.

Look's like it's going well Tony gteat start.

Fantastic finish,great work!

Look's superb.

Hi folk's just finished the upper painting which has gone well,now attention turns to the lower wing stripes.

Many thanks Andre,mine should be fine I'll let you know if I need help.

Hi folk's,after primer I painted the underside light gray then upper darker gray,decided to paint the stripes rater than use the decals so masked and sprayed the white area which turned out fine. Once the black is painted I'll mask the edges and brush paint on the green.

Evening all,the U/C is fitted after painting going well could this be my first successful Red Arrow at last?

Evening folk's glad to say the decals are performing well.

Thank's Mike there's still a good few bargains out there on E-Bay bay does help when you like these oldies as a lot of folk won't touch them especially if new tools are out there.

Hi folk's time for another oldie,I have a soft spot for the F-84 just finished a pair of Airfix kits and while doing the rounds on E-bay saw this bigger kit for £10 took a punt and got it.All present and correct from a seller I often buy from the decals are showing their age but a few days on the windowsill should bleach out the white serials which were the only concern,at present I'm thinking the Belgian scheme. Here's the Airfix pair.

Afternoon folk's after Humbrol primer light gray and dark gray were sprayed on the airframe,after the worries during construction she's looking good cant wait for the decals!

I think its time to admit despite a lifelong love of aircraft I hate flying So thankfully very little.Boeing 737 and 707 and a Puma!

Good to see another build Sam I'm at the primer stage and it's been a joy to build, check the fit of the wing leading edges I had to scrape and sand the guns and wheel well boxing in for a snug fit.

Hi all, happy to report the underside decals went o OK

That's the very one Sam I built the Mirage many years ago but until today never knew this kit with the extras existed.
