If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Here's the long awaited photo dump.
Gray was applied first.

I used Tamiya acrylics in my new airbrush and thinned it with Tamiya thinner. The grey went on great but the green gave me a fit. I used the same paints at the same time on the Mako and everything was fine. I used silly putty for masking as recommended by club members on both at the same time and only the Havoc had the pigment appear to separate. Me and paint just don't get along these days.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Too late for the GB, otherwise it may have won... :unsure:  ;)

The Leng Plateau is lovely this time of year

The problem is that folks here make these pics and drawings faster than I can build!!! Yes, you too, Tophe!!
Never mind me, I'll grab one as they go buy and build it!

Quick and easy drawing is something BUT model making, slow and solid, is something else, great, which is the highest goal whenever possible... <_<
Of course the speed to complete is very different, this is simply normal. Letting glue and paint dry takes time, and PSR is long by principle. Thanks for this hard work. :thumbsup:
