PhantomBigStu Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Had issues with the gr4, gloss black adhered badly so had to switch to Matt, but both are now painted and ready for seats, canopies exhausts, radomes and pylons to be added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Having decided to not fit the radomes and exhausts during the build stage wasn’t wise, lots of sanding was needed. But nearly there just it clean up the canopies before decals can go on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Well the gr4 ended up a Groundhog Day model, and in the end the front canopy imploded, was already a spare from Revell so that’s over, but I’ve at least got the first batch of decals on the ecr Edited May 14, 2019 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I don’t help myself at times kits like the Tornado are best having canopy one before paint and being careful, but yep definitely have the cursed touch, anyway all the port and starboard decals are on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Decals all on including the walkway lines which had to be individually cut from generic long decals, took ages. Also did some sanding on the nimrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
