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.

Very good result Bish!

Sorry to hear about the masks, my own experience with Vinyl masks are not good at all.. :headslap:
