Thanks Gaz! It had it's moments! LOL

Nice and smooth. Now for some texturing, etc.

First application of Alclad on.

It's a very nice kit Rob and I think you will enjoy the build.

Looks mighty good Rob! Nice work. 😀

I just received my kit and after a cursory inspection I think it really looks good. Should build up to be a very nice model even without all the extra PE stuff. In my opinion the only PE that MIGHT be wanted for some folks is the wing fold set and the bomb bay set. I got the canopy mask set because I'm lazy and don't want to have to go to the effort to otherwise do the masking. I'm sure the after-market folks will have some nice PE cockpit placards and some decal sets too. After a second perusal I think getting the PE flap set might be a good idea so you don't have to drill out all those little holes. I just now ordered a set and used my "rewards" to save a few bucks on that $40.00 PE set.

Thanks Harv. Me too! LOL

Priming about completed. Paint soon!

I bit the bullet and went on and ordered one with canopy masks. No PE or anything else, at least for now.

Let us know what you find out Ernie.

I was previously considering getting this kit when SB received it but now I'm having second thoughts. The kit price is $129.00. Okay. But then they have a butt-load of detail sets that, if you order all of them considerably raise the price. My opinion is Infinity should have included at least SOME of those in the kit. It aggravates me to fork out nearly $130.00 for the friggin' kit and then have to order other "pieces" to build it like I want it. Just my own "gripe"!😠 (I know we very often buy a kit then decide to get some after-market stuff to add wanted detail, etc. It just seems Infinity has taken that a bit too far.) I think I'll shop around and try to get a better price for the kit so as to make buying any of the "other" stuff less painful.

Thanks! I hope to do some primeing this evening.

Thank you Mark.

Thanks Martin.

LOL Peter.

About time to go with some primer.

Just about ready for some paint.

PM me your address again Peter and I'll get it on the way next week. If you can use it, great. If not chunk it. LOL

You likely could use that Canon color printer. Bare Metal Foil Co. makes blank decal paper that you can use. Testors has a "system" for that. I have it but haven't ever used it. I can send it to you if you want. Freebie!

It's not all that difficult Peter but you'd need a laser printer for best results. Do you have one? If you do I'll talk you through the procedure.

Since I had started this build last year and set it aside I have a "head start" now. LOL I'll have to do some re-scaling and printing the markings I plan to use since they aren't available in 1/32. We'll see how that goes.

Thank you Gaz. Those Airscale instrument faces are nice plus they are each separate on the decal sheet unlike others I've "tried" to use.

Making progress.

Yes it is. My "G" build.
