thanks Gaz, RFM have devised the the Schurtzen so the hook on and do not have to be fixed. The turret shield are plastic though but I reckon I can fix those after. One thing I did discover from the archives that certain units bent the leading edge of the schurtzen ………..

That’s amazing, good haul…

Not to many as the hands will start to shake…….happy birthday….

Carl, thanks for the pictures, looks an amazing museum………

Exceptional decaling and weathering, especially on the drop tanks…….I see the finish line approaching…..

Peter, much appreciated ……I hope it’s subtle enough but gives a hint, that was the intention 😁….

Thanks Gaz, much appreciated, I haven’t tried the sponge technique, I’ll pencil it in for the next project….

That’s when the magic happens…….or in my case not…….😄

Spraying tomorrow…….

Thanks Peter much appreciated, the wear around the cockpit and forward booms could have been better, I should have had aluminium underneath and chipped the surface…….one for next time…….I still have the Tamiya P38 to do so I’ll give it a go……..this is my first attempt at weathering on aircraft……..

I’m calling this one finished. ……it’s not the Tamiya build and fit but does have some lovely AM……..Learnt a lot with this one and there are still warts that jump out at me. The compressors apparently caused the white streaking so tried to replicate that. Actually for the first time ever tried panel washes, not sure how convincing they are though. Xtracolour faded olive drab, Cartograf decals and enamel Matt varnish……..hope you like it’s been a learning curve again but pleased with the outcome……..don’t believe all you read about the Academy base kit……

Gaz, your tolerance to adversity is amazing …..looking very good indeed……and then you want a G10……..is that more pain?

looking good Carl, you are storming this one……. I hope the dog doesn’t fart……….not good positioning …….

Ian, so sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences in your hours of need. Stay well and stay strong, we are all here if you need us……..

Appreciated Gaz, got to add all the Schürzen on, I may well get them all prepared and then spray them individually so the hull can be finished……this one has been a challenging in knowing what to do next……the amount of spares in the box is amazing similar to Dragon……

Thanks Peter, I must also do the ZM 51 when I spray this, I was amiss when I sprayed the P38……

Thanks Kai, RFM give you all the bells and whistles, PE Schürzen to add next….

Looking good Bill……I have lost two A1’s on evil bay in the last 10 seconds…….both were came with all the bells………looking forward to the next instalment….

Getting close now……checking if I have covered everything off………all the hatches will be open so they are blue tacked in position…….probably another few hours and then ready for the booth………

Mark, I think we are going to call you Peter 2………so neat and beautiful painted and weathered……..

Those squirrels around your neck of the woods must be active again Carl……….good on you buddy…….looking forward to this, as only having done one fan thing, I need for another ……I think………

Are you going to do a WIP on the AFV project?……….

Latest read, it was free on Amazon Prime reading………

Nice pony John, love your idea on reducing the surface noise…

Rob, it’s time to walk away, can they be seen from a metre away……..You know it’s there…….gets me toooooo……beautiful model congrats……the camo is well above my pay grade…….I’ve a mark on the front windscreen of my ZM 51…….that’s why I picked up the P38…….
