Had a bit of a disaster with the decals.After painting the whole model in AMMO BY MIG Silver and then gloss coating with Humbrol clear,it was ready for decals.Both schemes in the box broke up and became unusable,I have got no suitable decals so I decided on a What if!

Well its finished,the kit built up quite nicely but the decals were unusable.When you buy second hand kits sometimes the decals are just too old to be of any use.

Thank you Lone Modeller for your kind words,much appreciated.I have not posted in a few months because the tablet I take photos with broke down and despite many attempts to fix it,it has now gone in the bin. I have just bought a new tablet(not an iPad, a cheap ARGOS one) and hopefully I will post something soon.

Perfectly feasible What-if. The P-80 looks handsome in those markings. Well saved.

Thank you all for the kind words,it means a lot.I have a question,I was about to paint my AIRFIX F-35 and the only suitable colour in my paint stash is Humbrol enamel 164 but I have not got any enamel thinner,can I use Tamiya x-20a?

Nooo Celt. I think you will find X-20a will make a nasty mess. Use white spirit or cellulose thinners.
