    I have to agree with Rob. Good start. Stuart

    Excellent work with the straw shell channel. Stuart

    @John Tapsell, Thanks John a very concise answer. Was there a standard size for all these markings? Stuart

    Sorry to have missed you Rob, I was most likely in hall 3 looking at the maritime stuff, better luck next year. And as for the Fairmile Finale, they look fantastic, I'll put that in the 'best you've done' category. A pity that we can't see these beauties in the flesh. Stuart

    Hi helpers. I have a Sexton II that require decals but for some reason the only decal sheet available(?) from Star Decals is very difficult to get: The one in question is scheme D, so I'm trying to track down images to print my own. The letters and numerals I'd like to think that decals already exist but what size were they, same goes for the plain white stars? What is the red over blue marking with '1178', RA brigade marking, size? Blue square, lower left red corner with 'FB', tactical sign identifying what, size? And most importantly, what is the red diamond with a sword/spear(?), size? Your help would be much appreciated or if any one knows of another decal source... Stuart

    A bit of work before Telford... Every attempt to fit the booms to the wing showed that the joins would need some work with filler and sanding and the inevitable loss of the raised panel lines. Also, with filling required at the the fuel and rocket hardpoints, more loss of panel lines. So, the decision has been made and I've spent few therapeutic hours getting rid of them. As mentioned above, I'll be doing a bit of remedial work around the wheel bay/ wing joins. Stuart

    I really like that, a welcome change to the normal camo variants. Stuart

    Nice, clean and sharp. Will take a better look at it before it disappears onto the Mirage SIG table. Stuart

    A bit scary when you're sawing expensive bits of resin off but must be rewarding when your additions/modifications come good. Stuart

    I had completely forgotten about this build Martin and had to give it another read. She looks clean and sharp in your last image, will keep an eye-out for in RFI. Stuart

    Had a little time in the cave... Cockpit interior painted with US Interior green from AK. Boxes, cushions, consoles, i/p and coming painted panzer grey from AK. Tape belts fitted. Cockpit tub fitted to upper and lower halves and you can hardly see a thing. If you're wondering what the white tabs are, they are plastic section added to the wheel bay roof. Wheel bay interiors and undercarriage painted aluminium from Alclad and undercarriage fitted to the boom halves. Stuart

    I am a little dubious about this kit too but I've started now. Fortunately, the raised lines are quite fine and as long as I'm careful with joining and cleaning it should be okay. If it all goes to pot, then the raised lines will be sanded away and I've had great results from this method in the past. As to progress, just dribs and drabs as I'm getting ready for the Telford weekend, but the priming of internals and some bits are done, just looking at interior colours now. Stuart
