Rabbit Leader Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Good luck with this one Stu, I’ve got a Novo boxing stashed, just need a decent set of decals to give me the inspiration to build it. Nice win, Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Went to leave feedback on eBay and decided i probably should check it is complete before doing so and then ended up just building it, indeed was complete though both wingtip fences are short shotted so will have to scratch the full lengths 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Nothing furthers happened as it too cold to prime it, glad someone brought up the decals as it reminds me I don't have any.....was going to do it in silver but maybe I can home print ones for the cosford blue one, having just found my white decal paper that I lost years ago in a complete fluke of discovery. http://www.aeroresource.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Fairy-Delta.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Given the arctic weather is showing no real signs of improving I warmed the can up in the some warm water and primed it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Its a nice looking design, you can see how many aircraft were of a similar shape. The ones that come to mind quickly are Mirage, F-102 & F-106 to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the problems were predictable in hindsight a month ago and wouldn’t had I gone with the silver scheme, decided will just finish it as there’s the Dora wings coming out and I can always eventually replace it.
