PhantomBigStu Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Not yet got a kit for this but will be (i all likely hood a tomcat) , heres a project I will be working that obviously isn't for the gallery, but in the spirit of the GB, repainting this as the non-spec blue is too light and blue for my taste, though Ill need to source the replacement roundel and tail letters Edited November 25, 2018 by PhantomBigStu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Sanded and painted, now to mask the silver leading edge, also the avenger repaint is back on, took it out of the box to find the paintwork is damaged so the intermediate blue also will be repainted might do the redo the underside in off white. decals for that and a future Iranian tomcat on the way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Problem with the decals for the nose splodge so painted it, hopefully doesn’t look to crude, now just the final varnish coats and adding rockets bombs and aerials to both. Unlikely to be done today, heading to Wembley in half an hour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Panther done, and will be in the galley later, avenger just needs the canopy touched up, which will bring a pause to it thread untill I have a tomcat at hand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Taken its time figuring the various paints needed for 6 decal options I pruchased for the tomcat and if I got suitable already or where I can buy them. Narrowed it down to two schemes, the first I shuld be able to get the required paint from my local shop which I will pop in before the Christmas though the other needs an online order, which will depend on whether theres anything else I need over the holiday break. So watch this space. I have the kit ready to go anyway Edited December 8, 2018 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 forgot to order the fs36222 grey paint to do my chosen scheme so the alternative with cream instead of the grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
