Im calling this one finished, glamor shots to follow.

It's a very very very old kit but for all it's faults it's a little gem and far better than the old Airfix kit.

As you can see I have used HobbyBoss decals that have gone on well, but are a bit thin and not opaque enough to cover the grey, if I used them again I would use white decal discs and then cover them with the decals.

That's a very sweet result there, Splash. I agree, although it's a simpler kit, it looks just a bit more 'right' than the Airfix one but I have a soft spot for both. Lovely job!

Great result Splash.

I will look out for that paint, at 4 for £20 it seems like a bargain.
