Thank you. Another one is on the way! Maybe someone bought (some of) the PAF Turbo Furys, the story isn't over yet.  :party:

What a beauty. I really like the look of this one. The colours really suit her as well...and as usual, your excellent selection of photos really bring her to life ! And another look at the 'how to' section always helps. What's the brown stuff called ?

:drink:
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Which "brown stuff"?  :unsure:

If you mean the putty (it's of some undefinable color between olive drab and RLM02...), that's a car body, nitrous compound putty called "Presto Finish", sold (probably only here) in Germany in DIY markets and car supply chain ATU. My personal choice for almost anything - ask PR19_Kit, he is also a firm beliver in the stuff.  ;D

BTW: I am always amazed how much a beauty pic, esp. with a surrounding that actually suits the object, enhances the overall impression and shows how effective a camouflage can be. I always wondered why PAF Furies were kept in Mid Stone/Dark Earth, or in some cases (like my build) in Mid Stone and Dark Green. But if you put the aircraft into a typical Pakistani landscape, it works VERY well! I think that also adds a lot to the convincing impression?

YES indeed! It's terrific stuff, they really should export it elsewhere in the EU, or even the World!  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Turbo Fury #2 is closing in on the finish line - I actually just wait for some (more) B-24 prop blades, but I can confirm that the Sino-Paklistan war has not been the end to this aircraft!  ;D

And it might even see a third chapter...  :party:
