  1. Cool. I'm guessing paintwork will take longer than construction if the fit is good?
  2. Can't recall ever seeing a model of this type before so like @vppelt68 I'll be watching your progress of this target with interest
  3. I'm just thinking this kit of the AOP is now old enough to be an OAP
  4. Those gun mounts were a complicated bit of engineering. Hopefully they don't take a knock during subsequent handling Pete.
  5. Are you leaving all the port side doors and access hatches open Steve?
  6. Interesting subject choice Dan. Hopefully all of the (what, 24?) bits fit together well.
  7. More tidy work That photo from Sinkex 98 is rather informative as to not only how extensive the damage from a single missile strike can be but also that the ship is still afloat. Testimony to the effectiveness of both designs perhaps.
  8. While there's photos out there of the AEW2 Shacks with their bay doors open I've no idea what they'd have carried within it. The crew's golf bags perhaps?
  9. Cheesecloth? I have a suspicion that I know what this is for but will watch your progress and see how you eventually employ it and all those other aftermarket goodies
  10. You'll be grand Gavin. I don't currently have time to work on a kit so you're one up on me already
  11. The wing camouflage and markings certainly look great. Nice work.
  12. This GB really is a gift that keeps on giving and here you are with another subject I doubt we would have had the pleasure of seeing otherwise
  13. Nice progress Chris This one makes for an interesting comparison with @Creepy Pete's EKA-3B Skywarrior in the SSD GB.
  14. For being ancient decals they appear to be performing well Dermot
  15. That looks to be a beautifully smooth coat of paint there Colin. Old tins of Humbrol are great stuff; probably full to the brim with all manner of toxic nastiness but damned fine paint.
  16. Welcome to the GB and with my all-time favourite aircraft as well
  17. Your paintwork looks suitably and subtly patchy and faded so I'd call that a win Colin Hope you've shaken off whatever was ailing you now?
  18. Good to see this one underway Pete. Particularly like that chill-out lounge behind the busy bit but how much of this will be seen with the fuselage halves closed around it and the canopies in place?
  19. Having never seen any subject modelled in this manner I'd say you're forging a fresh path with this one. It's the type of model I'd expect to see mounted in a glass case proudly displayed as a center-piece of a maritime museum with information placards detailing the life of the subject as shown by the stages you're creating. While I don't know your mental image of how you wanted this one to look what I can tell you is that it looks bloody good.
  20. Reading around on the subject a few years ago got me confused but with the impression all the designations got so messy and confusing even for those working with the real machines they brought in the Mk. IV designation to help tidy things up a bit. Do you have a bulged canopy hood for this one?
  21. Good evening Patrice. With one of the Eduard Royal editions of their Mirage III kit in the stash I'd like to be part of this one so please add my name to you list
