looks good Dogsbody, hope you feel better asap

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

That's looking very sharp sir. I hope your feeling better. I had relatives show up for the weekend and one was very sick. I now have it. Not feel up to snuff either. I've been outta work for two days. BUMMER.

 

[Gnomey]

Looking good Terry!

Thanks chaps, and thanks very much for the good wishes.
Stayed in bed all day today, only got up for food at 20.00 hours!
Starting to feel vaguely human again, so might get some more work done in the next few days, albeit slowly with these stupid stiff fingers!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Hoping you feel better soon sir.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice work with that canopy Mr T and very patient of you. Do hope you're feeling pukka again soon.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Vic.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Burning the midnight oil my friend!

Hey, hey,
What, what!
Cherrio, and all that rot!
(With love from the colonies!)

A bit more (slow!) progress to show. In the final stages now, when it gets difficult due to fiddly bits and lots of protrusions!
PIC 1. Windscreen internal rim and cockpit sills painted, with light paint wear, and refuelling probe painted.
PIC 2. Canopy sorted, frame re-painted, and sealer strip painted. Just needs cleaning now, to eliminate those finger prints!
PICS 3 and 4. Fuselage exhaust staining (or more correctly - jet efflux deposits!). The port side needs a bit of refinement, and the serial number decals require another coat of semi-matt clear.
PIC 5. A little top side staining and light weathering.
PIC 6. Wing tip details painted. The nav lamp has yet to be glazed.
PIC 7. The wing tanks and missile pylons have been assembled, painted, and details picked out. These will be mounted later, but I probably won't use the missiles. Decals have yet to be applied to the tanks, after gloss coating.
Thanks again for your continued interest, and I hope to post some more over the weekend.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Looking very sharp. Knowing how hard it is to get the little bit of detail I get with eight fingers and two thumbs in operation. Your abilities and patience are humbling sir.

 

[T Bolt]

It's looking great Terry. You must be getting over that bug.

 

[Crimea_River]

Brilliant work my friend!

 

[A4K]

Great stuff Terry!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very nicely done my friend.

looks great Dogsbody

 

[meatloaf109]

The Bug must have helped, think I'll go try to catch one.
Excellent work!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks very much indeed for the kind words chaps. And yes, it looks like the bug has almost cleared - which means I don't have to stay within a quick hobble of the bathroom any more!
