AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Right here goes, I'm not one for building jets but in memory of Merv I thought I go with a GR.1 from RAF Bruggen Tub done Nose section buttoned up with a goodly amount of led shot in the nose Wings done and started on the fuselage section, not going with Revell's swivelling stores pylons and may well dump vavable elevators as well Gong together quite fast, guess I could get the building done tomorrow but off to an Airshow at Old Warden. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Don't follow me, I'm lost too IPs are decals but needed a few drops of Tamiya X20a to make them conform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Moff Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Great - did you cut them up before applying - gonna start mine soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hi Tim, No as they come in about 5 pieces from the supplied sheet. I did need to use some Tamiya X20a thinner to soften them and make them conform as Microsol was having no effect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're never too old to learn and can always pick tips up from " The Modelling Youf ". So is this brushed over the decal or is the decal softened in the thinner before it is applied Mish, this could be useful on my Luftwaffe Tornado. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Modellers Solverset Now you see Mish, I am of the generation that was told that it was rude to ask a lady how old she is. We had a secretary in the department that I worked in who was 32 right up until the day she retired. Thanks for the tip I'll give it a whirl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
