Thanks Damian, thats the plan and arrangements for a show next year are being planned    For those that wont have seen what Im upto will first of all see a 31 Sqn RAF Phantom, but 31 Sqn did have Phantoms from 1971 - 1976, FG1's & FGR2's BUT NOT RF-4C, so Im hoping this ones gonna catch out the Rivet Counters

so Im hoping this ones gonna catch out the Rivet Counters   

I'm hoping that my 41 SQN F4E will do the same thing to the rivet counters as well.

Love that critter Bex , even when I was building real world I don't think I ever painted anything gray. Effin boring

Thanks everyone   

Ive only got one grey RAF model, and thats with a nice bright red tail of 56 Sqn FGR2, the Fleet Air Arm is excluded from my anti grey jets world domination manifesto, coz theyre the FAA its allowed

Small update then, under wing fuel tanks and EMI Pod are now painted, Ive also had to make my own Sidewinder rails, yet more wood on the Phantom    Photos of those once Ive finished painting them. Tail area & Undercarriage all done now, Ive got plenty of decals to get her going while I wait for the Squadron Markings via Royal Snail   Then the final bit will be the bang seats, canopy and the rest of the Etch that goes with them 

Thanks for looking

And you can also see my latest mug, blagged from West Sussex Fire & Rescue yesterday

  Bex for some strange reason my wife refuses to allow me to propose to you otherwise I'd be on my way

[John Howling Mouse]

The model is really coming along and I do like your new mug but for the longest time now I've been wondering where I could get one of those cute little box-thingies you have there!   

[bexwh773]

Thanks for the kind comments both 

Sotoolslinger, youre very sweet, but I think not only will Mrs. Sotoolslinger throw a major wobbly, but, if you look closely at my photos, you will see a photo on my table lamp, I think Mrs. Bex might also throw a major wobbly too, and shes got a helluva temper 

Baz, we have a store here in the UK called Poundland, and it was bought for me for Mothers Day by my step son    Its very handy for holding small model parts

I was gonna ask about the framed photo too but fingured I'd go with the pink box thingey.  Now, for the important question: does Mrs. Bex build models, too?

Get this Phantom phinished---I'm getting antsy to see it done already! 

[bexwh773]

Eddie, thank you kind sir 

Baz, thank you, I will be starting some of the decals later today and possibly the bang seats. Now then, yes Mrs. Bex does make models, she has this wierd fetish for Airbus's    And heres a couple of linkys....... Oh get ya sunglasses on before you open the links
