Slowly getting there.....Xtracolor topcoating under way.  A little bit more work on the Paveways needed but that won't take long.  Sidewinders painted Light Aircraft Grey after a faff painting them white, which was just wrong (and messy).

Right now it's looking a lot more complete than mine   ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Corsair mishap - knocked it of its perch, a tailplane and a mainwheel broke off but all repaired.  Top coating still to be finished but had an urge to apply some markings to show a little bit of tanglible progress.  Roundels and finflashes from Modeldecal 54 and the squadron markings from Modeldecal 77.  Tomorrow I must make time to finish the top coating and complete the Paveways.

Looking smart  :thumbsup:  and yes markings can bring a model to life.

Decals are done.  Matt varnishing starts tomorrow after a little bit of touching up the paint here and there.  Oh and I need to replace a nose sensor that's disappeared at some point.

Getting there.

Nearly done - weapons on, drop tanks being tidied up, tiny paint touch ups needed.

That looks totally believable Dave, a super job.  :thumbsup:
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! :)
