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.

Found these shelves in the shed

One more hole to fill , what will I finish first the lightning or the super entendard ?. I might as well use my old IKEA cd towers for something.

Mossie update

I'm still loving this kit, in fact so much that I've just dug out my other mosquito kit and started thinking about schemes for that. After these pictures were taken I filled the bomb bay and gear bays with some wet tissue and sprayed on some Tamiya sky. The spinners are causing me a bit of a headache at the moment, they should have a light blue cap on them while the rest should be a pale yellow colour. I have a few ideas on how to get a perfect circle on them , I'll just have to see what works.
