At LAST I've got the canopies on after painting the cockpit interior with my new brushes.  ;D

Yes, I KNOW it looks weird, but it's meant to. After all the whole AEROPLANE looks weird!  :o





Now it's time to mask them up and put the main colour coat on. And about time too!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

It looks familiar for some reason.  I'm getting a sci fi vibe though.

Also looks good.  Roll on colour coats.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I think it looks great Kit, very period ---- as finsrin on BTS commented on my Twin Tail T-33, ' very hardcore 50's'

Also available in white.  ;D




And with Scale Reference Cat too............  ;) Who figured that it may be a mouse and therefore needed to be chased all over the carpet!

You risked having your work destroyed by cat's claws???  :o

Not really, he was just interested and nosed it around a bit.  ;D

I think this is looking perfectly reasonable given that it's basically a propeller driven flying saucer.

Having applied the base white colour, I'm now back in the 'how red is red' business.  :banghead:

I've tried the fin and tailplanes areas in a test mix of 50% Humbrol Semi-gloss red and 50% Xtracolor Easyjet Orange. We'll see what it looks like in the morning................

Second that. Blending donor canopies into "unintended" hulls is never easy, and this here looks very good.  :thumbsup:

Glad you like it, thanks.

There was a LOT of the ex-Jaguar canopy filed away, at both ends and underneath, to get it to fit.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

And what would you have done if he'd shown a little more than "interest" ?  :angel:
