Cheers Craig. Polished back with 8-12000 grit micro mesh pads really helps with the finish.

Looking good mate!

More great work Loren!

Thanks James! I went for the new H&S Evolution CR plus. Speaking of paint, I managed a good session at the bench today. The joy of working with the MRP range is that they dry so quickly which allowed me to not only spray the airframe, but I was able to mask off and spray various vents, the leading edge of the wings along with the lights and fuel dump vent. [/url]DSCF5542 I did however run out of Light Gull Grey so I'll have to wait until a new bottle arrives before I can paint the fuel tanks and pylons. Hoping to get a couple of coats of gloss on around work over the next few days with the aim of getting the decals done on Friday. Might make the deadline . Dave

Cheers Craig! New airbrush was probably overdue, well, that's how I'm justifying it anyway

Coming together nicely mate

Great result even if your original plan didn't come to fruition, nice work!

Nice job on the figures! Something I struggle with on the odd occasion when I dabble with AFVs!

Great result there, thanks for taking part!

Almost there mate!

Minor progress this afternoon. Managed to prime the kit over the past few evenings after work so once I polished it back, I was able to get a rough pre shade on today: I also spayed the ventral strakes in Tamiya X-7. Then a seal went on the air cap on my airbrush. My initial clue was cleaner lashing out of the nozzle. Didn't need Columbo for this one. Luckily I was able to salvage a seal from another, unused air cap so I should be good to go to get the grey on over the weekend. Oh and instead of ordering a replacement seal, I just went and bought a new airbrush . More soon. Dave

Well that's always good news

I could be tempted with this one... I have a 1/48 Revell Tornado lurking somewhere and boy, I really did not like my previous experience with an F.3!

Thanks Col! Thanks Craig! I tried to convince the missus to let me have one of the bigger spare rooms so I could keep all my stuff there but was told, in no uncertain terms, to jog on Thanks James! You won't regret buying the Tamiya 'cat. Your wallet might as you'll want more. Did you go for this boxing or one of the late A or Ds?

Thanks Alex, it's sitting just the way I want it, for now anyway! I had a feeling you may have had a word
