That's different.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Lancfan's Cuban Kingfisher
The last time I visited Cuba I wanted to visit that Museum but it was closed, I think they have a Sea Fury and a small famous boat on display as well as the Kingfisher but I cant remember what the boats story was, I think someone escaped from the USA on it.

Re: Lancfan's Cuban Kingfisher
I've got a few of these and a variety of markings so will be nice to see yours.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Lancfan's Cuban Kingfisher
In between working sessions on the Mustang I have worked up the decals for this model, the build will start when the Domincan Mustang build is complete.

Re: Lancfan's Cuban Kingfisher
with the Mustang on hold until I can get hold of a pot of clear blue to tint the canopy I can now concentrate on this model, the decals have been drawn up and just need printing out and a good number of pictures of this aeroplane and a plan have been downloaded and the bench has been cleared ready for the off this evening.
