Fin is nearly done, needs some grime adding as they were always dirty with soot form the thrust reversers !
man these close ups are brutal too

plan view showing some of the walkway lines added with the roundels, i had to move the two either side of the spine as i'd placed them too far aft yesterday

Yeah those thrust reversers really make a mess. Looking really good Karl

Long walk lines are brutal; just finished the last of mine last night with only one rip

Lovely work so far Karl!

Doin' great Karl.

ok bit more done.

you might notice i have fitted and painted the air-brakes.
i had intended to pose these open but found the dotted walkway lines actually crossed over the air-brakes and i simply did not want to cut the remaining walkway line decals up and fiddle about putting them in place, i have fitted painted and glossed the air-brake parts and will put the walkway lines on a bit later today.

nose markings and stencils on the nose

fin dry fitted to see what it looks like

Nice Karl. That fin always struck me as being out of place in terms of size but it does look cool.

Donivanp · Nov 11, 2021

Love it Karl.

rochie · Nov 11, 2021

thanks guys.

every time i see the fin i am more gutted with the paint work.

going to try and tidy up the grey a bit

Looking good, and really shows why it was often referred to as "The Mighty Fin"!!!

rochie · Nov 11, 2021

thanks Dogsbody

rest of main decals on, fin attached properly and engines fitted, though the ends of these need to be darkened a fair bit yet,

tomorrow, lots of stencils, the defence pods, fuel tanks and fuselage bomb racks and bombs !

Doing a good job on them decals Karl.

rochie · Nov 13, 2021

stencil decals are done but hard to see !

fitted the landing gear legs to check if the weighted nose cone i have prepped will be enough to prevent a tail sitter, happy to report it will keep the nose down nicely
