I have multiple in both 1/48 & 1/72 as I almost never add them. I should put them up in “Free to a good home”. 

I’m hoping to do an area search tomorrow - likely he’s at s bar somewhere knowing what the airforce is like at the weekend …if you ever want to pass your pilots on let me know as I like to build with them - happy to cover the postage costs !

used some burnt umber oils and mix, along with Tamiya panel line accenter and some dark dirt floreys wash...aim to get it as it was at the end of the time wearing the scheme using ref pics...

 

 

Note the chipping away from the A2A refuelling hatch (or attempt of!)

Could not find the second crew member - that said I looked through my build pics and can only see 1 - so maybe I have one on the sprue and had to sort the other - so I have 1 now primed ready to paint...the glass for the Sniper pod was missing and my Micro Klear had solidified so am waiting on a new pot to try to create the glazed part before adding the pod...

 

Canopy onto the rail

Excellent finish Tim, Thank you for joining us here in the build. 

 

Thanks v much for helping run it - can't be a bit of a 'local' build given I am from Lakenheath originally!
