very good so far I-H-G.

you have tackled the RWR in almost the same way as i did on my LGB armed, 16 sqn corsair.
i wrapped suitable shaped section around the rail. either way the end result looks ok and right.

hmm, this being a RNoAF A-7, does it need a brake chute? maybe....  ;D :rolleyes: ;D

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.

Erm, Hello - Could you stop talkin' 'bout me as if I'm not here !!.... You're ALL Scallywags, all of you :angry:

So, managed to get a teeny tiny bit done today. Simply painted the cockpit an appropriate grey tone and filled all the wing-fold and hinge details on the wings. Not worth photographing. Wont get very much done tomorrow as I'm on nights just now so will be sleeping till around 1400 and the kiddie-gatherers are home by 1700.

Really enjoying this one, but don't be expecting anything colourful at the end  :wacko:

S'ok - despite their minimalist markings, Norweigan F-16s are amongst my favourite Malibu Stacys.  Less is more I guess.

Havn't seen/heard that word used in years, you sure your not older then you say Ian ?  ;D

Mind you the origional scallywag is coming back. The BBC are making a series of the Just William books for kids TV. be interesting to see how todays kids deal with the world of 1952  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

So far the changes are looking pretty subtle, looking forward to seeing more, IHG!

Well got some work done over the last couple of days despite the best intentions of the Dork who insisted on taking me out to consume cold beer and hot burgers on Monday. Three coats of Humbrol satin white on the intake, wheel wells and loadout; then some easy PSR and here you have it..... there is a fin-tip by the way, it just blends in to the black card a wee bit too successfully !













Thanks for looking.
