    Beautiful Cees!  

    Do your printed tailpipes fit ok?  I think they work for the Revell kit maybe, but they are too small for Tamiya.  The outlet dia should be 30mm but the base is 30, making the outlet too small.

    I wonder if I can get one scaled up a wee bit or borrow the STL file for my mate to print a larger one??

    @Jeroenveen1 was it you that did the file?

    EDIT, sorry @JeroenPeters it was....sorry

     

    Anyway, great work all round chaps.  Cees, I have a feeling I might want to do a cammo one when I see yours finished!!

    Cheers Anthony

    Nope, it's Ocean Grey that serves as an undercoat. The EDSG will go on top of that. But will concentrate on the underside first.

    Aaah ok, well hurry up then...:D

    Just discovered that those 2 access panels on the RWR fintip are only on the left side...after I just put them on the right hand side!  Ugh.... dont make my mistake.  I have filled them with CA now LOL

    First coat of dark ocean grey applied. There are some irregularities but not much considering that this is a frankentoom. I am quite happy how it looks. I also got the Vulcan cannon as this was a regular fit in the RAF.

    Well mate, it's hard to see any irregularities from my screen!  Looks splendid!

    I really like how you did those Aux doors on the flanks of the engine sides, they really came up well.  Considering the surgery involves, I am totally impressed at the results you have achieved.  Thanks for the inspiration for me to keep plugging away on mine!!

    I would say an early FGR.2 means you could get away with it, seems like they slowly filtered through the program.  Who's to say whether it did or didnt have it at the time you chose to model her.

    Great work Cees, thats some tricky surgery, and I am like you planning using the kit inner engine parts for depth as well, they actually look practically the same as the Spey waaay back in there

    Good show!  This is exactly where I am working at the moment too... Just what I needed
