she was orriginally intended for the falklandsbuild 3 years ago.

but the lack of time kinda ended the project  :(

3 years later, the build was taken from underneath a layer of dust and returned in the "Navalise it GB"

now, almost exactly 3 years later, i could not stand to see it in the fridge looking at me any longer, so instead of scrapng it, i decided to end its misery and complete it. she's almost done, wheels are drying, the rear wheels are still to be fitted, the underside still needs a second layer of white paint (witch is a b*tch to apply).

the neverending story is comming to an end afterall  :lol:
here's a pic to prove it  :rolleyes:

Ooh, that's sharp!

With the white, several thin layers is the way to go. Get each layer as smooth as possible, and it should build up slowly. I hate painting it though - I use a spray can if I can, because it's so much easier.

That looks very neat in that colour scheme Nils - brings out the shape of the aircraft more than the usual cammo - nice one!  :thumbsup:
