It's my plane so I'll say what goes on it.

Decals are on and don't look bad at all. All from the spares box. 3 squadron is the theme, well not really the theme was to have a bit of fun.

Waiting for the glue to dry

Well It's made it to the shelf just need to put the main gear doors on and a few aerials then It's finished. The bombs have fallen off more times than I care to remember.

Vampire

I started the 1/72 heller vampire last night, I'm already on the painting stage. I haven't got any decals for it , the kit ones are out of register quite badly. So this is going to be my vampire. All over medium sea grey coded GW and I've found some 3 squadron badges that are small enough to fit on the twin booms.

Taking forever

This one seems to be dragging on a bit.

Decals started

The F-15 decals have driven me nuts, almost unusable. At the moment I have no star and bar on the right side of the fuselage and under the wing. The stencils I'm going to source from the spares. That'll teach me not to wait for my order to arrive. The corsair is coming along nicely though.

F-15c update

Now painted first colours on just needs the darker grey. I've left off the tail fins because I thought it would be easier to paint and decal separately. Just found some pics of the avionics bay and it appears to be a metallic blue / green colour.
