Toby's pair of Pacific pugilists. FINISHED

To build a pairing of machines which would have had a dog-fight, which is the general term for fighter aeroplanes fighting each other. It does not include bomber interception, or missile attacks, but does include "dogfight" type combat of ships, AFV, Sci-Fi, etc.

I'm rather pleased with this colour as it turned out to be a far better match dry than when it was initially wet.

That looks like a lovely kit Toby. Very impressed with the fabric effect on the control surfaces.

One odd thing about the kit is the amount of under wing ordnance there is that nowhere on the instructions can I find where to put them. I've gone for the torpedo which is shown in the instructions and there's a bomb(bottom right of the photo below) that looks like it would sit where the torpedo goes but zilch about anything else.

Mmmmm bit strange - did your kits come from a dogfight double boxing?

Perhaps the individual boxing has more options?

Another superb finish Toby! That looks excellent!

(That does look like a lot of bombs btw!)

Not in the habit of saying this to chaps, Toby, but you really are displaying a rather splendid pair! :-D
