As started on my workbench thread, which i havent updated in awhile , here is the finished product. I was going to document all the stages of the build but as per usual for me i got into the build and totally forgot about taking pictures. I wanted to try my best with this model and the outcome is what i believe to be my best mdoel to date and the one im most proud of. Within the build there was a few things id never done before such as painting the canopy, which i feel i have done quite a good job with seeing it was my first try,
Finished in the scheme of ZE764 of No 11 Squadron based at RAF Leeming,
Really am proud of this build, enjoy

Very nice. I sat in that actual aircraft once at Leeming. I really must build that kit.
So many models, so little time.

Painting the canpoy really did make a diffenece, ive just been put off doing them up till now but now ive done it nothing to it really might be easier if i use tape of some sort in the futre

I also sat in that aircraft at Leeming in 1991. It was painted to commemorate their new boss Wing Commander David Hamilton (DH).
Really nice finish, really looks striking you really have done it justice....

That is a stunning Tonka. It really looks the business. Great job on the canopy, I wish mine came out like that.
