Excellent job, I like the subtle weathering on the camo. gazza l

Beautiful work on this elegant plane. gazza l

Very nice work and well photographed. What paints did you use? The dark earth/green look spot on. Shame about the decals, I think these have now become a weak point in Eduard kit. gazza l

Nice work, glad it made it through its truama! gazza l

Very nice Phantom. gazza l

Another stunning Tornado, the cockpit looks so real... very impressed. gazza l

Very nice work, weathering looks spot on gazza l

Thanks Mike. I'm not sure when the large rudder codes first appeared, it just says 1970's on the decal placement sheet. I don't remember them being on the rudders in the 80's though. Thanks very much Paul. There certainly was a lot of wing droop, I tried inserting some wing spars but they didn't work so I had to straightened them in hot water and a lot of tweaking. Shame really on a modern kit!

Really neat work. gazza l

Thanks Steve. I'll have a look tomorrow for the decals when I go out in the workshop, you're welcome to them. Cheers Rod. Thanks for the info, I might even rectify the mistakes when I get a minute. Lovely photo of WZ872 over the American cemetery, I wish I had seen it before the build... I can see I have also misplaced a few of the decals! Thanks everyone. gazza l

Hi all, Recently finished this new kit from Airfix and it's in the colours of 5 AEF which was my local AEF based at Cambridge Airport up until the mid 90's. Had a few fit issues with the wing to fuselage joints and the known droopy wings which I overcame with some careful tweaking and hot water. Extras I used were the Kits World seatbelts but I used the Airfix decals for the IP's. Xtradecal part 1 sheet for the decals and some lead wire for the brake lines. Painted with MRP's, lightly weathered with W&N oils and finished with Alclad light sheen cote. Thanks for looking. gazza l

Stunning work, very impressive. gazza l

Thanks John. Shame you didn't get a flight in the Viscount. I was a bit disappointed when they change them for this... 1983'ish. Probably the worst flight I've ever had, up and down like a roller coaster! 🤢 Many thanks Zebra. Yes it is a nice kit, the pointy nose and cockpit profile look just right to my eye. I managed to get hold of another second hand 700 recently for a decent price and I have decals for an Intra Airways Viscount. Cheers everyone. gazza l

Beautiful work, very impressive. gazza l

Thanks very much, they turned out better than I expected, took a few attempts to get right though. Yes, I used to spend many hours up there and at the end of the runway with my cousin during the summer holidays. Jersey used to be such a busy airport with aircraft lining up over St Quens bay one after the other. Viscounts, Heralds, Avro 748's, BAC 1-11's, Trilanders and the occasional Dakota... happy days! Thankyou every for your kind comments. gazza l

Nice work Gerben. Always nice to see a Jag and yours is a stunner. The old Airfix kit although a bit clunky still builds into a nice model. gazza l

Nice work on this very colourful subject. The windows look impressively real they give a convincing 3d effect. gazza l

Very nice work on what is a very old kit. I do like the patchy metallics on the wings, gives it a convincing weathered look. gazza l

Hi everyone. I've always had a soft spot for the Viscount, flew in them many times in the 70's- early 80's (Cambridge to Jersey). Loved the look of them and the distinct sound of the RR Darts. The kit went together reasonably well, just a shame its so expensive for what is, in 1/144 a very small kit. I wanted to do it in an in-flight pose so I borrowed a Corgi stand until I've machined up a more permanent display stand for it. I removed the props and replace them with clear plastic discs which were then air brushed yellow whilst they were mounted on mandrel, held in a battery drill. The decals are from 26 decals. Paints are a mixture of Alclads metalics, Mr colour and Halfords appliance white. Comments and criticism welcomed. Thanks for looking gazza l

Absolutely stunning work, must be quite a sizeable model in 1/32. gazza l

Really nice, very neat paintwork and weathering. gazza l

Looks really nice, very sharp finish. I've just finished one of these kits myself... not a bad kit but overpriced. gazza l

Very nice work, interesting history behind it as well. gazza l

Really nice work. gazza I

Excellent work, the weathering is amazing. gazza l
