The Vixen's got it's hat on, hip, hip, hooray,
The Vixen's got it's hat on and it's coming out to play.....
.....as soon as I've undercoated the canopy frame, finshed painting everywhere, and put the transfers on.  ;D ;D

So, painting almost done, markings being applied.  Hoping to get this done in time for IPMA Barnet show next Sunday.

Markings are/will be a mix of Modedecal (roundels, fuselage serial, aircraft code letter), spares box (warning stensils) and some very fragile Novo Javelin items (squadron markings and underwing serials).
;D ;D

Sure looks solid.  Nice job.  Is the nose painted that way to simulate paint wearing off of a fiberglass radome or is something else yet in store for the nose?

No, the radome's not painted yet.  Want to get the rest done and top-coated with Klear before doing the radome in more of a matt finish.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

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

Another very nearly was, great stuff! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Nice one! That's one of the things on my alt.RAF list, so very nice to see it in the flesh. :thumbsup: :bow:
