I don't know what you mean!?

I'm just about to spray the exhaust stains and then this one will be done. It's the only one out of the 4 that'll be done by the deadline due to decal errors. Don't leave without me!

[FTS]

Well it's not completely finished as there are a few areas I want to work on further, exhaust stains, ordnance, etc, but as far as the GB entry goes it's done as far as time allowed.

After mixing paints I finally made a good blue match.

Decals on

And done. My airbrush wouldn't spray the white so I had to quickly dry brush something on. It looks awful and will be done again properly.

Wow I made the deadline and all around me people are letting off fireworks! I didn't realise I had such a fan base!

[SvB]

Very nice build, worthy of the fireworks

Glad you made it !
Cracking looking build

[FTS]

It's back and done properly this time now that i've had a bit longer than 10 minutes to weather it! The canopy framing needs a revisit which has come out lighter with the flash. In normal light it looks ok though. I've got some stores to add and then it'll be complete.
