1/72 Supermarine Swift FR.5
Re: 1/72 Supermarine Swift FR.5
Easy, there scooter. I'll get them out when the time I right.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: 1/72 Supermarine Swift FR.5
Child graduation high school, softball season, yardwork, mayhem at the office - hardly any bench time to be had the past several months! 
Progress, finally, last weekend:

YES!! 
back on the bench. Running the roads this evening but I should be home around 10pm. May see if I can at least mask off the canopy. 
Annnnd the wife & daughter are out of town this weekend too. I'd go with them, but darnit, somebody should look after the cats.
So I should get some good bench time in.

Re: 1/72 Supermarine Swift FR.5
WOW!!!! Been a busy summer, with little consistent bench time. Fresh of a vacation week, got some bench time over the weekend!
Primer on & buffed...
PUTTY WORMS!!! Ended up doing this a second time, masking off the green to re-apply the gray to get better coverage.
Final result. I realized after I started applying decals that there should be another slash of green on the tail near the afterburner.
Underside with main decals in place...
Topside with main decals & a start on the stencils.
