Airfix 1/72 Jet Provost T.3


Recommended Posts

Just come in from attempting the dayglo decals.on my on off build. I have to say most of the dayglo cracked up on me despite coating them with Micro Decal Klear stuff first in the hope it would 'bind ' them a bit in use and with hot water topped up from a hot water bottle but it still didn't work. So I am on the lookout to see if anyone has spare dayglo from their kits not wanted. Alternatively I may go back further and finish it with yellow T bands over silver dope finish in which I was going to do with the dayglo.

Re that canopy frame. Agree that the centre strip is not there but looking at pics in an Old SAM magazine and some on dedicated JP websites it is there! So I am presuming the later T.3 or and T. 4 had modified canopies  maybe.

Paul,

 

Sorry for the late reply - It's only been about one month!!

I'll send you a PM shortly. I've bought a couple of these little blighters and have been successful with the dayglow strips on my first build.

I have to agree - it was no easy slog, however I managed to bed them down to a reasonable fashion in the end.

 

Cheers ... Dave
