Brilliant, Well done. I built one of these for the Matchbox GB, and it was great fun. Your additional work in the cockpit looks fantastic. Cheers Greg -
Thanks Dave, It's a nice kit, I'm sure you'll enjoy building it. Cheers Greg

Cheers Dave, Much appreciated mate. All the best Greg

No problem! Enjoy, the Tamiya kit is a good one. Cheers Greg

Thanks Rich, Camo next......

Thanks again! Good to hear I'm not the only one who gets carried away when things are going well. I hope to be finished this one by the weekend. Cheers Greg

Thank you Patrice The model starts to come to life once the markings go on. I am looking forward to adding the last of the parts to complete what has been a very enjoyable build. Cheers Greg

Thanks John, I scratched off some of the green on the nose to simulate a bit of wear n tear. So I'm pleased you noticed. If you get the chance to get one then take it. I can't recommend it highly enough. Be a shame if Airfix withdraw it already but the extra parts indicatevthey may issue a RAF mk IV too. Cheers Greg

Thanks Stix, Much appreciated. It's a really nice kit and any problems have been of my own making. Cheers Greg
-
Cheers Stix I hope to have this one finished by next weekend so I can prepare for the start of the Panzer IV GB. Regards Greg

Quick update, Trundling along on this one but slowly getting there..... Next up will be adding the canopy parts, and then getting the green camo on over the base colour. After that i will be wrestling with the wing fold, which i am not looking forward to! Thanks for looking, Cheers Greg

Update 4(?) ..Thunderbolts and Lightning, very very frightening!! Those darned decals proved to be quite challenging, and highlighted a couple of errors by me (its always me). Firstly i should not have added the hardpoints for the drop tanks before i started putting on the decals. this resulted in having to cut them and try and work around the plastic protrusions!! Next error...I shouldnt have put on the starts n bars before the lightening flashes either...more cutting decals....grrrrr!!! Finally, not my fault for once, the outer wing markings for the flashes should be doubles like all the rest but Airfix printed them as singles, so i have to paint them on... Ah well, perfection is boring as they say, and just as well for my sake! Pic's... Getting there, hopefully near the finish line by next week, Cheers Greg
