    F-4D over Oman, 1/48th

    More lovely work Daniel. The discolouration is very convincing. If you can free up the engines, then I believe that the exhaust petals should be almost in contact with the fuselage. A quick Google search should provide confirmation :-)

    Ohh...yes..the Hunter model! Lovely work sir. The underwing serials are, well and truly 'nailed'. To use a modern idiom. Safe journey.

    Lovely photo! " You could've used the bleeding door"!!!!! Aren't you supposed to knock before you enter? I notice the nose wheel and leg didn't make it inside!

    Hi Bill, I think your 'Leaning' would be the right way to go.......if a bit fiddly! I'll have to go digging in my books, I'm sure I've seen a photo of a early cockpit. I'll report back if I find anything that may be of use......I hope!

    " This really is a strange hobby." Yep. But it's remarkably good for the soul.

    Hi Antti, I'm in full agreement with the previous posters. Absolutely Stunning. My Father served at Tengah in the early sixties and spent many a "happy" hour in the old Drag Master trying to turn the recalcitrant collection of valves that didn't like high humidity into a working Air Intercept Radar! He always seemed to have a grudging affection for the old beast. I look forward to your next build. Also many thanks for your generosity in passing on the lovely artwork for the seat harnesses to us. Regards.

    Hi Bill, I it's ok I'll pull up a chair and watch intently. So much more productive than feeding the carpet fairies under my desk!!

    Hi Bill Looking really good. Doped patches over the guns was standard practice to keep grime and gunk out whilst on the ground and to reduce the likely hood of freezing in the air. HTH

    +1 for the use of weathering pastels. I've used the Tamiya range to simulate the effects of the sun and was very chuffed with the result. They might be of use to "fuzzy up" the sharp contrast as it were.
