Shane,

I agree with Shaun about the 'pit.

If work is getting in the way, then no probs. Real life takes precedence (but wouldn't it be nice if it didn't).

regards,

Martin

Thanks for the feedback. I've managed to get the grey on, had to deal with a few seams that I thought i'd got rid of. Mask up for the green tomorrow.

Nice research pic, even if it's a G91R, not a G91Y..
It looks like the real one had a mix of satin and matt paint :shock:
Perhaps one tone of paint had weared out different than the other?
Or was it the restaurator's hand? :???:

All decals are on and given they are nearly 40yrs old went down nice and easy, I've added gear doors and underwing stores. Just the undercarriage and wing pitots to add then final varnish coat. Will come in on deadline day.
