**** DONE: 1/48 Tornado F3 - Home Country Modern Aircraft / Spitfire Mark GB

[Airframes]

Thanks very much chaps. Seem to have 'lost' most of today - fell asleep this afternoon, as a result of feeling grotty due to a cold ! Working on painting the first seat now, with a bit more to add to the rear seat before painting. Pics soon.

Got the front seat painted, and almost ready to start the painting on the rear seat. The small hole at the top of the parachute container on the right hand side will be filled and re-painted, and there's a bit of touch-up needed on a couple of the details, before giving the main frame a clear matt coat. The finger print at the bottom of the seat pan frame will not be seen once installed !!

Good stuff Terry.

Ditto on the "good Stuff"

 

[Airframes]

Thanks very much Vic and Wayne. I've now done the touch-up and clear coat on the first seat, and almost finished the rear seat. Had a bit of a break from all the fiddly stuff, and did some not quite as fiddly stuff, by painting most of the detail areas on the model, although there's still some re-touching to be finished, and more to do after the matt clear coat, especially the area around the jet pipes, which will be various metal tones.
Here's what it looks like so far.

Thanks very much indeed chaps! Should get back to the Tornado tomorrow, when the paint is fully dry. Meanwhile I've been working on the Wessex, in the 'normal' builds.
