Just trying to keep the outer parts of the wing level and the same angle - lollypop sticks, pegs and tape - seems to be working! :grin:

Hi All,

A bit more progress – not a lot but something – I’ve scratched up some basic HUDs in both aircraft and finally got the canopies on.

The A-7 has also had it’s U/C fitted, along with some other fiddly bits and the seams have been finished….

Almost on with the paint…

I’ve also got some new decals for the RC-5, F/A-18A and Tornado GR.1 in the stash so I’m not sure what’ll be up next.

Cheers

Stuart

Finally, after being on the bench for over a year, I started to get some paint on my Eurofighter...

Image

Needs a few more coats - but's nice to be able to start makeing some progress on this one.

I also managed to get two coats of white on the undersides of the A-7 yesterday...

Image

Image

...and today I've added the first coat of grey...

Image


And I've been having a look at my Airfix 1/72 Vigilante to do next as I fancy doing something BIG and this certainly fits the bill! having said that it is a simple build and should be great GB fodder...

Thanks for looking

Stuart
