canberra kid Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 This is one I built a while ago but she's on deployment to the NASA SIG, I collected her from Telford this year this year to do some repair work, nothing major just a bit of tidying up here and there. With that work complete I thought I'd take the opportunity to take some photos of her, before she goes back in the hanger until next November.

Thanks Ray, The NASA "meat ball" and tail sash came from an old Cutting Edge sheet CED482636 which covers NACA/NASA markings. The instructions has a colour photo of 017 in an earlier? silver and white scheme , but I found some photos of her in the all white and day-glow scheme on line and worked it from there. The white is Halford's appliance white with Halford's day-glow orange outlined with extradecal black lines. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, it is a very nice eye catching scheme, like many of the NASA fleet, they are always a nice alternative for military aircraft.
