I've been fiddling around with this build for a few weeks now, and I finally decided to put up a bit of a build log.
Not a complete A to Z thread - there have been a good few posted already, although most were shortly after the kit was launched and many have suffered catastrophic photo failure at the hands of Pee- bucket.
It's going to be a drawn out process, making the thread, what with festivities and work stuff. Also, whether i opt for the Red Arrows scarlet or the gloss black finish, it's going to be with a rattle can, so that won't be happening in the depths of winter.
Main efforts so far at effecting improvements are
Modification of flaps to the lowered position as per a parked up Hawk.
Getting some rivets on the fuselage rear.
Trying to get the look of a bunch of metal sheets bent and fitted together, rather than a perfect moulded Form with engraved lines.
I have no idea how it's going to pan out!!
