Hey Ralph I have been a little busy last few days, she is now gloss black but the paint is tacky a day later, so I will post a few pics tomorrow.

Nice one Ralph, I intend finishing the Hawk I am being very disciplined.

My Castoff models Challenger 2 Megatron conversion set arrived today, got wingy things to build though!

Challenger 2 megatron set arrived from Castoff models today, excellent set.

Looking great, think I will do a Mustang sooner or later.

Love this, another superb build.

Thanks Ralph, I am really enjoying this and she is a great looking aircraft, looking forward to seeing you do yours,

Go for it Ralph it is nice kit and i am enjoying mine.

Starting to look like a plane now, a fair bit of filling and cleaning up needed but no real problems, have decided to scratch some FOD covers as well, Thanks.

Well I do not have a big choice and I will have to buck the trend and throw in a piece of armour if that is acceptable, Steve.

Fantastic build, really like the finish on this.

So I have started filling and cleaning up the seams on the fuselage, did not seem too bad but the intake areas took a bit of work to clean up and blend and did some rescribing, interested to see how it looks with primer on, working on the vent panel on top of the fuselage which was not a particularly good fit, found the steps in some areas of the fuselage joints irritating almost cut the locating pegs off and went for a butt joint but persevered in the end, Thanks.

Great looking Mustang.

That's what I call a shopping spree.

Oh yes, put some fishing weights in there, tips forward nicely when I support the centreline,

Hey Paul, this looking superb really like the work you have done here and congrats on your silver.

Thanks guys, this kind of out of my comfort zone for me so I progress slowly, any way got the fuselage filled with bits? and now have the fuselage in one piece, tried hard to get as good a joint as poss. went together quite well needed a little bit of fiddling, Thanks, Steve.

Wow that will be worth seeing.

Agree Ralph, looks superb in the gloss black, the instruments are also Eduard and a big improvement over the kit decals, they are the zoom range and come ready painted and self adhesive, I usually get this sort of stuff from Sprue Bros.

Yeah all black, I may get into grey one later if I manage to finish this.

Nice one Ralph.

I nearly came away with a Revell 1/32 Tornado GR1!!!!! and I am still fighting the urge, ooh help.

Thanks Ralph, I am quite pleased with them, always more you could do with them once you start getting into it but this is enough for me, I intend finishing this one without the intervention of the bin.

More work on the cockpit some detail work to do yet, Thanks.

Looking great, I finally succumbed to this last night whilst in the hobby store.
