Guys - it is a lovely kit, and really takes me back to boyhood, when happiness was getting a kit after school (99cents for a series 1 Airfix or Matchbox ), building it whilst watching 'Hogan's Heroes', the Goodies, and Dr Who......and then applying the decals duing dinner.

Couple of annoying little filler blemishes ......operator error and all that, but fear not !!! Top Coat going on . Tamiya AS 12 in a rattle can, warmed up in bowl of warm water first - makes all the difference.



Even managed to stretch a bit of sprue for an aerial

[theconfidencestoat]

Oh , and I have coffee in the roundel mug......

[theconfidencestoat]

Decals !!!!!

WAIT - anti glare panel first......

[Old_Tonto]

keep going you are nearly there.

[jssel]

Think your going to make it Simon.

[Jagewa]

Oh yes, looking good.

[TimJ]

You can do it.

[theconfidencestoat]

about 90 mins to go.....

[theconfidencestoat]

Decals all wrinkly from setting solution, otherwise looks good

[theconfidencestoat]

Chairman Mao says still an hour to go , what was I worried about ?

[theconfidencestoat]

The decal wrinkles should clear themselves within a couple of hours......just realised I haven't pained in the wing walk ways - which will now have to wait ......

[TimJ]

That's turned out great Simon.
