:-D Good guess Carlos, but unfortunately not so fancy things...
I ordered paint for the RAF camo and it has arrived !
Now the work can continue!

There is that something testfitting the canopy, which in this case has a very good fit !
I start to like the Airfix kit more and more and.. yes, I think even more than the Eduard kit!

Quick Kari, go take a cold shower and sober up! You’re not an Englishman, you can’t like the Airfix kit more! :giggles:


Seriously though, that’s looking good! I can’t wait to see some color on the bare plastic.

Looks great.
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!"..

Looking great! Really curious hearing your opinion of the MRP paint.

I'm glad to hear that you're having a much better building experience than I did Kari - It's looking really good.

I do agree, the clear parts are excellent for clarity, I didn't even bother dipping mine in Future.
