Pics restored! Necro-thread revisited on its tenth anniversary

Wow that's a work of art! To pull off the camouflage and make it look realistic as well is pretty impressive. Also, your work on the metallic parts is amazing. Lovely job.

A happy memory now restored!

Another gallery restored! Slowly getting there...!

Beautifully done. What a great finish!

That's a superb job! I always knew grey jets could be sexy but you've taken that to another level. What a result! Alan

Perfect capture of the brute look of the thing. Such a neat job, and the addition of the Airfix underlines the point - you don't have to break the bank to find a nice kit! Great work

Stunning result, fine work and a completely convincing base. Alan

Brilliant metal finish. That looks pristine! Hope you're going to share more of your work. Alan

I was trying to use a white polyurethane primer for the white nose parts, having elected to respray the camouflage colours as I wasn't happy with them. The overspray reacted really badly with the existing enamel coat on the fuselage. I then began to strip it back with a white spirit/cellulose thinners mix and then the seams popped open and the area around the cockpit began to melt. Perhaps I could have salvaged it, but I wasn't in the right frame of mind to try! Lesson learned, and I hope I stumble across a reasonably priced kit one day.

This might help - it shows the profile of the blue up to the trailing edge.

Excellent rendition of this beautiful ship, and very well narrated. Keep up the great work, Ray!

Ah. That would possibly explain why the original was changed to KLM's PH-TCV. Thanks.
