I will build an Airfix F.22 in the markings of the Egyption Air Force.

Pics to follow.

An Egyptian Spit, can't wait!

Decals arrived today & very nice they are too.

Hopefully this one should end up looking like my 1/48 Spitfire I made a couple of years back:

Bye for now.

Sounds great. Whose decals are those, please?

They are Mark 1 decals & I am very impressed - although I have not applied any yet!

I got them from Hannants:
http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/DMG7201

They were £9 which is more than I would usually pay but I will use them to build 3 Spits at least.

Southern Rhodesia
Syria
Egyption

I might even do an RAF one if I like this Airfix kit.

If you need any of the RAF markings just PM me.

David.

On the way ASAP.

Lovely feel about this kit.

I aim to get the main construction done tomorrow then there will be a slight interlude whilst I apply for my own job!

I can see I forgot something on my blitzed F.22 (but I can blame the pace of the blitz for that). Forgetting to paint back of canopy green. Oops.

Atleast I got the tricolored lights right!

The paint all flowed in together on mine....I now have two yellow lights and one orange!! :-(

Thats a bind. IK am sure you will sort it.

This one is slowly coming together at work, as my lunchtime build.

I just need to mask off the main canopy & get that attached.
Get the cannons on and she is ready to paint.

Nice work OT. This would make a cool dogfight double with a IAF Spit!
Following a few others members builds of this kit, the fit looks an improvement on the PR.XIX kit, especially the wing/fuselage join.

That 48th scale bird looks pretty nice OT!

Stuart · Post by **Stuart** » March 12th, 2013, 9:32 pm

Yours is looking better than mine! I had a real problem with wing fit.....

Is that price tag on your box from the Monk Bar in York? I love the chocolate shop there...yum

That's coming along very nice. I envy your canopy masking, splendid job

It's very kind of you to say that but I managed to crack the bubble hood whilst masking it!

Fortunately the modelling gods anticipated my 'Ham-fisted' antics & supplied a spare.

But that didn't fit so good.

This is probably down to me but a bit of PVA should sort it.
