Excellent approach. If it ain't clamped it ain't glued, right? :ha:

Yeah - even though it's a dog of a kit I'm really enjoying it.

Funny how that's sometimes the way it goes with a kit. Not good to build yet enjoyable because of the challenge .

I think I'm just getting back into the enjoyment of taking a build from start to finish without stopping to work on something else. This is why I'm reluctant to join in GBs.

Added another coat of the light grey today...

I think I'm ready to mask up and start on the dark - just a bit more filling to do around the canopy that looks like a good job for 'Perfect Plastic Putty'.

looking forward to getting this done, can't wait to see what it looks like with that dirty great Exocet slung under the wing.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers

Looking good and your enthusiasm is getting infectious. I may have to start building something after a month of inactivity.

Morning Gents,

These are the rest of the builds allocated to this display (I've got an F/A-18A too) - I'll do my best but this is about a years worth of building for me :)

I think the Mig-27 maybe up next.
