Maybe it means twenty four hours here and there, not in a row!.

Brilliant stand. Amazing what can be done with a piece of mahogany and mild steel.

Looking Good!

Beware! I made the mistake of installing the nose wheel to help keep the painted under-fuselage off any surface. While putting on decals, the nosewheel has broken off. That is a very tiny join and will now always be a weak point.

cheers,

So, I have been having some fun over the festive holiday with painting and masking. Must admit I am REALLY pleased with this paint job. There is one small section on the underside that needs a slight bit of attention with a touch up of the Light Aircraft Grey, but most happy with it.

Looks quite nice, I like that stage of models, it all seems to be more like an airplane than the trouble-blob :)

These Airfix Provosts are being built thick and fast on here at the moment! This is a really great build Mike and is another example on the forum finished in my favourite scheme for RAF trainers.

I don't know, wait for years for a new tool Provost and then two come along at once!
Excellent work!
Best wishes

I have one in my small stash. I must build it in the colours of the one in which I took my first solo jet flight.
