me too, just as well making an AUP Rhino at 1/72 isn't easy. 😀 But the bleached or dirty vipers appeal most. Thanks @Seamus Chris

Bosse, Good RoAF images for your NATO GB build. Chris
-
And another thin coat, a bit of different shade on the tip tank, as per real life image, and the main colour is done. Chris
-
Under-fuselage pylons added. Panel line painting done. And three very then coats of lightened main colour done. Needs some touch-up and blending in. Chris

Craig that’s very neatly done and an attractive scheme that suits the Spitfire. Chris- 64 replies

I do love the RoAF unique Viper scheme, it is on my very log to-do list. That loadout sounds more like an airshow thing, the many pictures of them on BAP show 2 + 2 missiles, and a nice touch of the flag folded and tucked in front of the HUD, and weathering ofc. Nice Easter weekend pictures, I envy the temperature, the north of England wasn't anything like that warm. Chris

And more assembly sneaked in around family things; tip tanks and tail. Chris
-
That turned out very very well. Chris

Flags in the title depend on how you access the forum. On my phone and iPad it just comes up as an option when you type. United States 🇺🇸 Chris

Between family things I got the wings and main wheel doors on on after getting the front/rear fuselage joints flush. Chris

Seeing as there a lot of F-16s in this GB here is the only Viper I have ever built. 1/72 Hasegawa, Oregon ANG, F-16 STGB 2021. Chris -
So I got the French flag and looked in the stash for what would suit and found this kit and these decals; both give me an option of a camouflaged Hun from Djibouti; which fits the GB, but I would rather do one from Metropolitan France if I can fiddle the decals. I am not keen on NMF and the French NMF look doesn't appeal. Chris

Fuselage all together now. I painted the canopy framing before fitting which gives a chance to check on any errors more easily, At the same time I made a start on the less faded panel lines from photos, and trialled a bit of lightened finished colour on the tail; the contrast is not as obvious in the photo as in real life. Some filling and filing on the front/rear join then the wings and tip-tanks. Chris

Nice rhino, particularly love the dirty underside. Chris -
Can't beat a jet with a pointy nose: F-104, particularly a late F-104S ASA-M in pale grey. Chris

Hawker Hunter F.6A - No. 1 TWU - Revell - 1/72
Chrisj2003 replied to SebTartar's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Scarily good model and brings back memories of passing (loitering around outside) RAF Brawdy and seeing 1TWU hunters, as I recollect the taxiway was very close to the fenceline. Chris -
Lovely model, great to follow it coming together. Chris

And front fuselage all assembled, slowly, from experience of previous builds the fit of the intakes is imprecise and not much mating surface so I've gone one piece at a time and left to set solid. Last couple of builds I have left a lot of the seam clean-up until everything was together but I've recognised that apart from the blade aerial on the underside this front fuselage is robust so I'll get this all sorted out before mating with the rear. (Except for the pitot which will be toward the end as on this plane the because I've got show the radome a solid un-faded colour and different to the rest of the plane.) Gone for green and khaki cover to the IP which seems typical of a G, unlike the light grey of the S. Freehand painting of the anti icing black paint wasn't as good as I'd hoped but I'll be masking off anyway for the faded green body colour. Chris
-
So that's the pit done; still got more decals to add to seat but that will go in towards the end. Chris
-
My immediate thought was something like this (Wiki image so ok to use): Chris
-
That’s most of my stash available, apart from the F-16s, (and F-104s)so sign me up please. Broad enough that some planes / schemes that are not eligible in other GBs because of dates or geography can get a look in. Chris
-
Not much progress, proceeded slowly with removing molded detail from IP which is clear plastic; but done and made a start on the 3D decals. Chris
