Busy busy

I've been a busy bee lately. Unfortunately most if my time is taken up at work at the moment.

Back to the old girl

Sitting down last night watching saving private ryan, I suddenly had an urge to get the sea vixen out and see where I'd left it at last time. All the insides and bays were painted but not stuck in place, so out came the glue and in it all went. I'd already decided even before the kit was released that I was going to have the wings folded. The relevant wing fold bits were stick in and the booms were put on both sides.

Just swapped this

A rather large kit with all the trimmings. A verlinden etched set, paragon resin flaps, bomb bay and crew doors also in the box are some extra decals, eduard masks and some reference material. I swapped it for a 1/48 hasegawa ark royal phantom of which I have two.

Lightning finished

Here is my lightning F.6, finished as 'JS' xr728 the personal mount of group capt John Spencer. The kit is the 1/72 revell version, the decals were from the spares box and kit stencils. I only added some etched belts and the yellow azimuth aerials on top of the fuselage spine.

This might be painful

I've started this today, it'll be the first time working with resin, photoetch and a vacform canopy all at the same time. I've already broke the seat trying to remove the casting blocks.

Tonights work

Just sealed the decals in with some klear, next up will be a panel line wash then Matt coat. The under wing rockets still need painting and all the other sticky out bits and then It's finished.
