Cheers guys. You would think it would be better in one piece. Not sure why they went for this option.

Cheers guys.

Duke, i could very much recomend them. I'll deffinetly be getting more.

I know its been a while, working on 2 at a time has slowed things down. But finally able to get some paint on. I like the look of the 109 in this scheme, makes a change to the motteling or the blue high up the sides.

As you can see on the first pic above, the vinyl mask came away where the edge was on a curve in the canopy, just like the Montex masks. I am woundering if Eduard 109E masks would work on this, might have to try that. So i did need to clean up the canopy a bit with a polishing stick.

Then the decals went on, these went down very nice and i was pleased with the tail band, the red and white has gone down well over the dark paint.

It then got some exhaust streaks and a very light flory wash and a matt coat.

Really pleased with this kit. Ashide from the radiator cover and the masks, its been a joy to build. Will deffinetly be getting more, a Condor Legion C for starters.

Just a few final touches, landing lights, antenna cable etc and then i can add it to the base and sort out some figures.
