That looks great! Whe I try res riding, it looks like I used a Medieval battle ax.

Me too Lyle! I don't mind doing it to replace a lil' detail lost to sanding, but I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a needle than do an entire plane. I admire those who can though; I encountered a guy on BM who lived in Argentina I believe, said he loved rescribing and did it to relax, lol. :shocked:

He would've rescribing an entire kit for me but for some sort of import tax. Pity that, but understood. :grin:

Rescribing? Hell no. I don't mind doing if small details were lost from sanding. But a whole aircraft kit? I ain't got time for that. :giggles:

:giggles: Yes I'm rescribing the entire kit. I've done it a lot on older kits. Doesn't really bother me.

It's something I need to learn how to do, it would have really improved the look of the Tornado I'm building but I was limited on time - building it for a GB and all - but then I have two others in the stash :-D

Great work thus far Mike!

Yes I'd heard that - I quite fancy getting the F-84 at some point - another one I've never built :-D

Stuart, they are good model kits and build up nicely. I did this one a year or so ago; in the post I mention a few short-comings I encountered with the kit:

It's not that hard really. Just need the right tools.
