I agree, although I prefer the later red and white colours, the high speed silver and yellow looks much more post war pre 70's

OK this kit has put up a struggle and I'm not that happy with the canopy, but as it's the first all resin kit I have finished, I'm happy with the results and it has not put me off resin :-D

Looks very good considering the problems you've had with the paint. Well done.

Excellent result! The silver and yellow have come out a treat. Looks like a JP Mk 1 to me :-D

Beautifully done Splash, I have never built a resin kit, but it may be the only way to get the Provost I need to build my red Pelicans display Aircraft.

Ron I think you will find the Red Pelicans flew the Mk T4.
