Am high bidder on a revellgawa one so might see what looks easiest to do the NMF once built Edited February 6, 2022 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Indeed, anyway naturally the second one I won has arrived first. Looking unlikely I do a NMF one now given I've my heart set on the grey one from the Hasegawa kit which I have the decals from and I see the MB has a 5sqn camo one, I've not done a camouflaged lightning before so that's the two schemes chosen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Finally got my act together and sanded the topside and got some dark sea grey on, now for the green camo. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Green was a problem as my pot of Vallejo ran out half way through and the fresh pot was noticeably different shade so had to start again. Cockpit needs work which I might not get onto today so here’s how it looks now 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Looking less likely to make it, in my haste to get the Canberra done I’ve forgotten to tend to this, see what happens over the next few days….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Should make it now with the extension, progressed a bit more 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 Would be decal ready had I not forgotten about the metallic rear end and the fact that the weird black thing on the tail isn’t provided as a decal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Top and port Decals on, would have had more had the walkway stripes not broken in quite a lot of places 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) It’s not done, some filler and paint touch up round a pylon to do and glue the missles on but close enough and will be in the gallery today . Not happy with the varnish as my satin has turned Matt so it’s got gloss over it which I don’t think is any more Matt than gloss on its own but oh well.
