theplasticsurgeon Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Joining you with this US Navy trainer - derived from the T-33, that I'm also building. The first Sword kit that I've built - from several purchases. And I really like the hi-vis options 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 wow, they took a (comparatively) pretty aircraft and turned it into a humpbacked monster! Nice to see something different (and a type that I didn't know about) in the GB. Here's to DayGlo panels on airyplanes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSH Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I too have never seen this type before, it will be interesting to see it built up, a nice choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 This is coming along nicely. That orange really looks the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I agree about the orange. I need the same color for a near future build. Sadly it will need to be another paint brand. I've not seen a Humbrol tin since the late 80’s here in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
