OT Tries not to kill an Albatross *** Finished ***

Thanks guys, nearly there now.

Last night I got the drop tanks & rocket pods installed, I think they make her look a bit more functional.
I have applied some Flory's wash to highlight the lovely panel lines and dull things down a bit. Still need to apply the wash over the nose section but am waiting for the last decals to dry out first.

The bort numbers are a little over sized but they were all I had. :roll:
So all I have to do now is give her a flat cost an unveil the canopy. That's where things usually go pear shaped. :ha:

That looks very tidy indeed! The weathering has toned it down just right
Best wishes

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

Thanks guys, it was worth the effort in the end and I have ordered a couple of metal pitot tubes just to finish it off. :lol:
