Got to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed Airfix new JP3 kit.

And this one is now completed.

This project offered planning, acquisition of decals, and a race to complete - before Airfix release their 79Sqdn model.

 

I'll be back later this week - starting another.

Very nice. Just on a point of accuracy, JPs did not have a frame bar across the middle of the canopy. Airfix incorrectly moulded this on the outside and was actually a stress bar fitted INSIDE the canopy, so should really be sanded off and polished and not stand proud outside the canopy and painted.

I think you’ve done a brill job with this Tim - well done!  If I recall correctly, the Mk4s at Brandy were used by JFACTSU, a unit embedded within 79 Sqn.  They were also used by CACTS at Shawbury for “live” ATC controller training.
