Decalling!

Lots of fiddley decals for the gear doors, but at least they are all separate !

Great stuff Stoaty, this is looking really good. I'm not certain that I like the way the main gear legs have to be attached before the wing halves are closed though. It could make the legs vulnerable to being damaged, especially in the hands of a clumsy oaf such as myself!

Yes I have been lucky not to knock them off during sanding etc......

The fiddly bits...

Calling it finished with a little over an hour to go, I ended up leaving off the drop tanks.....

Absolutely cracking kit, a joy to build, wouldn't recommend to a beginner though.

I'll take a couple of better pictures tomorrow. Cheers Guys.

Looks great, have three of these on order, am picking up a starter set kit tomorrow so will see these parts for myself then. I hope this will be the start of a family of Vampire/Venom/Vixen kits by Airfix to go on sale over the next few years.
