Viking's Swiss Vampire

[Martin R]

Someone who has the skill, time and inclination probabaly could make an very nice vampire out of it

You seem to have done a really good job yourself.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Good job!

Looking good - maybe a touchup required round the intakes - the rest looks flawless.

thanks Guys, i wasn't fishing; i know my limitations

Stamford: yes, your correct. i still have vanes to go inside the intakes so they will get tidied up then.

and its done



remainder of the decals added, paint touched up, little sticky up and outy bits added. panel lines oil washed with umber (maybe a little too much over the fuselage and teh whole lot varnished with satin varnish (which looks quite matt)

its a kit that kind of cries out for a resin cockpit and wheel bays but for a basic kit its OK. I could have spent more time fixing the boom join on the port side, i could have used some aftermarket decals, particularly on the warning stencils and the canopy is not as clear as it should be but overall i'm happy. Thanks to Martin for running the GB.

Very smart looking model, like those markings.

Well Done !! The camo demarcation is really great !

[MerlinJones]

Sound as a pound, Al...nice.
I'm assuming you did all of the usual, before applying those large, rear Do-Not-Step stencils?
