Hi folks, I am calling this TB-2 build done. However, it probably will finish up in the docking bay diorama when I get round to it. It was a fairly straight forward build, apart from the decals which were well past there sell-by date! I had to spray them with GX 100 clear to stop them from breaking up. They took about 30 minutes to start to come away from the backing paper and that was only because I teased them off with the help of a scalpel blade, sliding it under the decal a bit at a time. Then they left a huge amount of carrier film around them, they look worse in the photos than they do in person. I decided in the end to fill the windows with UV resin, as in this scale they just looked odd without them. The rear exhausts are covered in a wraparound sticker that the kit provided, I used it as the colours looked accurate and it would have been fiddly to paint all the stripes and get a better colour match. Also, the wide stripe over the back of the cockpit was a kit sticker, but it was yellow which looked too bright, so I painted it over with a cream birch colour, which I believe is more accurate to the filming model. The number 3 Elevator car was used in the Fireflash episode; it malfunctioned and was replaced by car number 2 if memory serves me right. FAB everyone!

Hi all just made a start on this kit, seems to be nice quality, just needed some putty work around the fuselage centre seam. I added some pre-shading; the colour call out for the green is 70% H16 Yellow Green and 30% H6 Green. I am waiting for the paint to arrive so that I can proceed. Bye for now.

Just finished to baptize my new modelling desk and the start of a concerted effort to finish my much diminished stash. OOB with a hairy stick. The kit is a bit toy-like but I think it's not a bad representation and someone more skilled than I, could make a really good job of it.
