I'm looking at a Grey/Green camo upper/Aluminium lower colour scheme at the moment. Not too sure though!

Not much progress due to family commitments but we're getting there slowly! Finally decided on a silver/daylo orange scheme.

I like this one very much (particularly the nose)

Woah sharp as a needle seavixen! I really like the silver/dayglo orange scheme!

Bloody nice!!!!! It looks very convincing.

You could fool a lot of people with a model like that

A wee bit more work done this evening. Just gotta sort out the U/C and with a bit more detailing and she'll be finished!

Gorgeous!

Got a real (very) early sixties vibe going on, however, if I had gone to all the trouble and time that you've put in on this project, I would replace those roundels... go-on, you know you want to !

That is looking a real stunner - somehow that new nose makes her look much more "British" ?

Tremendous

I know they need replacing but they were the last spare set I had sadly.

This model is wonderful, really! and well, concerning the decals be sure you can ask to members here they'll glad to send you some! Try the swap shop, ask on this thread, or send a message to one member.

As for the off-register decals, I'd just get a fine brush and with a steady hand, paint out those little white slivers around the edge.

Thanks but I have found some more roundels, I forgot about my stretched Airfix HS Dominie project!

Anyway, for now, here's how the underside is coming along. I've scribed a new single air brake under the fuselage and added some hinges to it. I also boxed in the wheel wells. Undercart is from a spare Super Etendard.
