stevej60 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Hi folk's,thought I'd slip this one in as a late entry for this GB,I've wanted to build it since Airfix released it a couple of year's ago but the Camo scheme in this boxing finally swayed me into picking one up.

stevej60 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi folk's,good progress so far with this great little kit.The cockpit is very nicely detailed and comes up well with a paint,dry brush,kit and a few spare decal's. Once the cockpit is fitted the rest went together in less than an hour,this would make a great kit for the Blitzbuild's here on BM. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Rapid progress Steve, you have made a cracking job of the cockpit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Silenoz,everything fit's beautifully I glued the upper wing's and one piece lower wing together before fitting and it clicked into place without a hitch not a jot of filler was needed to get to the primer stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Morning folk's,sprayed the lower surface's light aircraft gray and the masked for the upper coat of dark sea gray so far so good,I picked up the T3 boxing of this kit yesterday didn't realise the only difference to the T4 was the canopy (which is included) and the rest is internal which doesn't affect the kit so I may get to do the box scheme of this one.

PhantomBigStu Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Correction the two canopies are the same just open vs closed. Looks good anyway Edited May 24, 2019 by PhantomBigStu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The kit is a T. 3, and there are external differences between that and the T. 4, but they're slight enough to not bother most builders. From memory, the elevators are different, the pitot needs to be on a longer pylon and possibly something else too, can't recall what. To make the kit itself more accurate, the engine cooling air inlet scoops need adding, and the heavy central frame line on the canopy needs removing and replacing internally. I've got a build on here somewhere that shows my weak attempts to make it a bit more betterer, if you care to look for it. However unless you're an airyplane nerd, the Airfix representation suffices nicely straight OOTB. Looking good Steve! I enjoyed my build and I have a couple more put away for whenever I get to them.

Thank's for the info Rob,I might be brave and build it as the red/White T3 as per the box when I finally get round to building it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I’ve never really considered the Provost but it is growing on me. Plus everyone who builds the kit seems to love it. Yours is looking good in the camouflage. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Morning all,glad to say she's done so will get her in the gallery tonight. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Well done Mr Steve! That looks rather spiffing. Great to see another completed entry into the Gallery, and a JP to boot- they do look very purposeful in camo, don't they? It's a great little kit, almost Lego-like in the way it fits. I really must get going on the ones that I have in the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
