I can't wait to see what Mr Hood makes of the finished article, I hope it's up to his exacting standards.

Very nice! Will it be at Telford this year?

Nah, you know what these evil, megalomaniac, telekinetic, philanthropic types are like. It could be perfect to perfection itself and they still find something wrong.

(Bet he does not like the colour...!)

I was thinking about getting her re-sprayed in Day-Glo Pink actually.

I just checked and the Huey GB doesn't start until the 6th of August so I will have a go at something more ambitious I think.

Unmasking the windows revealed that a little retouching was required and that they will benefit from another coat of Klear, here the first two are done:

Retouching done and another coat of matt varnish was applied in the end, including the now matt windows:

They were restored with another coat of Klear:

Right folks, that's it she's finished, RFI here.

Bye for now,

They are based on reference pics plus a bit of artistic interpretation here and there - I was surprised how many (conflicting) studio models there were.
