Nice detailing Jeff, have you sharpened up the intake too?

Cheers

[jssel]

Yeah I did. Although it wasn't that bad to start with.

[jssel]

Primer coat on this morning and only a couple of areas that need work. Then painting shall commence.

Camo pattern roughed in with a hairy stick. Tamiya Sea Grey and Poly Scale British dark green uppers and Tamiya Aluminum lowers. Acrylics really do go on nicely with a hairy stick.

Short final on this one now. Glossed, decaled(well a couple more to go) and a few fiddly bits. As you recall, the decal protective cover of wax paper was stuck to the sheet. Careful scraping removed most but a good long soak in warm water and the remainder rolled off. Matchbox decals release off the backing sheet quickly but they are strong enough to withstand a little rubbing to remove the paper fibers.



The two pitot tubes at the wing tips shattered when being cut off the sprue so will fashion new ones out of sprue.

Calling this one done. A model finished completely with a hairy stick. Haven't done that in a while. The new Poly Scale (Red Labels) flat coat does not airbrush well but paints fine by hand. Airbrushing it leaves a frosty white finish.

So here it is:





I really enjoyed this Matchbox kit. Easy constructing and reliable decals. Maybe it is time to do one of their Superkits.

I like the look of this kit. You did a wonderful job on it.

A classic well done! I want to do one now and I can feel the pull of the latest Collectakit kit list calling to me from the printer...I've always liked the G-91 since making the Airfix one in 90 minutes one school holidays (24 hours for a blitzbau? - Bah!!) and think that it a neglected but rather significant aircraft...probably one of the first 'consortium' planes to go into service...always been quite keen to whiff what it might have looked like in US Army service if it had retained its fixed wing fleet...

[Old_Tonto]

That is a lovely build, great job.

[did_nev]

I must get myself one of those! Defintely. Very nice work!

[bromo]

Great build Jeff and the colour scheme suits the shape of the aircraft.

am i right in thinking that back in the 60's the G91 won the nato contest to be the a/c used by all nato countries, but everyone in the end all the countries whent their own ways?
