iggie's Novo Master ***FINISHED***
A late entry for this GB (if no one objects? )
Not the finest bit of moulding ever, and the odd bit of flash to remove, but it'll be something different for the shelves!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: iggie's Novo Master
It's certainly a good solid kit! The plastic is really thick throughout and massively so in places
Fuselage is buttoned up now with the (very) basic cockpit in place. I don't think you'll see anything at all through the canopy so I'm not going to bother with any attempt to add detail

Re: iggie's Novo Master
Get yourself some replacement decals. IIRC these ones shatter when introduced to water

I have spare roundels I would expect but the serials might be more tricky; I'll put a coat of varnish on them now just in case
Cheers for the tip off Ratch

Re: iggie's Novo Master
Right, time for a belated update!
Fuselage buttoned up and (VERY) basic cockpit
Engine OOB, painted with Anthracite and dry-brushed with silver
Yellow undersides and Dark Earth topsides (brush applied)
Dark Green added; there is a little touching up to do but nearly ready for some gloss and the decals ( )

Re: iggie's Novo Master
Okey Dokey, the final instalments:
Decals on but not matt varnished yet, and missing radio aerial
Matt varnished and aerial fixed (brass rod as the kit part pinged off somewhere )
And with it's colonial cousin; I'm declaring this one DONE

Re: iggie's Novo Master ***FINISHED***
What a great build. You sneaked that one in fairly sharpish 
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
Re: iggie's Novo Master ***FINISHED***
How did your decals perform? Did you seal them with decal film or some-such?
It looks great
