had a change of heart re the Gloster Javelin for this build as i dont fancy painting the undersides of such a large aircraft in silver right now, so changing to the mighty Tonka to continue my RAF grey / Green collection using the 9 sqn decals the with the rather attractive white fin that come in the box kit.

Nice one Karl.
I'd thought of doing a Tornado GR.1, like my painting at home, or a Jaguar, but being at the caravan during most of this GB would make it a tad tricky - unless I took a car load of tools, equipment, paint etc !!!!

Karl, love that livery!

Buy spares of everything and keep some at the caravan, you know you want to

thanks guys, going to try and finish the He 111 first before starting this one.

there is a little bit of confusion over the actual area of the fin that was painted white.
i have one picture and this does not quite agree with the profile i posted

 

[SaparotRob]

Picture is wrong.

I think there's a pic or two in the Ian Black book - I'll have a look when I get back home at the end of next week.

Pictures don't lie but profiles surely can.
