Okay thet's enuff waffle. Here's what I got when I took the masking off last night:


















Sprayed a coat of Humbrol 'Clear Cote' gloss varnish on the underside in the morning. Then flipped the thing over and sprayed two medium coats of satin varnish in the early afternoon. By early evening it was dry enuff to remove the masking around the cockpit and to attach the wheels/hook/aerials.

If you're going to Telford for the Nats on Saturday, it will be on the SIG stand - it should be easy to spot as it's gonna be one of the few models there that ISN'T a TSR2  ;) . Thanks for looking. As usual all comments, good, bad or indifferent are welcome.

How do you make the panel lines? Rotring 0.15mm or something like that?
