Re: Stuart's Cold War Build Thread
Decals finally finished on the Etendard.
Just top clear coats and weathering to do before final assembly. Everything else is completed - I just need my new CA Glue to arrive before I can attach it. I've ordered some Citadel Thin CA - Never used it before but their stuff is usually good quality.
Cheers
Stuart

Re: Stuart's Cold War Build Thread
Nice to see the battle d'etendard is nearly over Stu. It's certainly put up a fight.

Re: Stuart's Cold War Build Thread
The Etendards pretty much finished - just a couple of minor bits to do.
I'll get some better shots up when the lights better and I can get my SLR out.
Cheers

Re: Stuart's Cold War Build Thread
Test final picture - alas the one I took from the other side is over 800 pixels.
It's an old crappy kit this but I really enjoyed it.
Cheers

Re: Stuart's Cold War Build Thread
An old, crappy kit indeed Stu, but you've certainly made a silk purse from it. Nice work
