First pic ! all of the major assembly done. The two greens I've settled on are on the test piece from the underside.

Is that the 1/144 scaled version?

[Captain Canada]

It is.

That's looking rather spiffing. 

[Captain Canada]

Ya it's just going to be a 'paints kit different' kind of whif. It should still look pretty cool tho 

[Gondor]

Is that the 1/144 scaled version?

I would have thought it was obvious considering the tools and tins of paint next to it.

Got the first coat of green on today, whilst watching 'Sleepy Hollow' that old Johnny Depp film. Kinda cheesy but not bad. the film, not the A400

That little big bird looks great! I understand why you're so hooked on this, it looks like a very cool build.

Gotta be 1/144, the 1/72 one is GINORMOUS!

So what markings will to have, I like the idea of the greens....

I have 2 of the 1/72 kits, probably both destined to be Whifs, 1/144 are too small for me

Working on a 1/72 version now and SWMBO is not happy to share half the dinning room table with it....

RCAF or RAF. Spec Ops type. Might go the RAF route, things like this just look better in those roundels.....

[Captain Canada]

On the fence re: operator. Might just buck my trend and go RAF, I like the roundels better

Better than the maple leaf??? Impossible (the Canadian one is the most beautiful roundel in the World - with the Kangaroo one of Australia maybe)

[Captain Canada]

This is true Tophe, but somehow it just doesn't look right on certain aircraft. I haven't tried them on this one yet....just speaking from experience.
