got the red quite right it seems, it matches the decals pretty well :) :) :) :)

Revell red 36 with drops of dull black 09

with a cote of varnish hard to tell the difference!

just when the varnish dried , I noticed that the Phoenix is looking in the other direction than the real plane.... what a pitty! (never never never ever trust instructions!) whould have been correctable with cutting up the decals before....:(

Even with a error it is still very nice. Just like andy said. the red is a good match with the decals. :goodjob:

If you hadn't tell me I wouldn't have known.

Cheers,

calling this done!

my absolute first ever group build participation ("together with the Non Injected Moulded GB" !!) and finished in time...

just in time!

tomorrow lets hope for good photos as well!

Just in case, 2 fast photos from 10 min ago, and to finish as I have started, with the Airfix boxing as a background! never would have thought it was going to be that easy!IMG_0248_1_1_zpsmlakhjyh.jpg

thanks guys, very much appreciated!

I especially want to thank everyone who commented and helped, directly or indirectly through their excellent build threads, and of course Mish for hosting and ad-hoc organizing this GB!

:thumbsup:

a lot to get done in the time frame

time frame is challenging, very much so actually! but at least it led to a finished model withing 3 months! where else do you get that?? : devil:

some more:
