I've got that kit too Paul! I'd go with silver based on the pics I have for undercarriage and wheel bays. Stephen

Great model but can we hear more about Tailhook 05??????? Stephen

I live in hope for Airfix,Trumpeter and Classic Airframe.Nice pics Stephen

Looking good! Stephen :o

It's a dark metallic gray colour. Stephen

Apparently the first run is already sold out.I've heard that Hannants have completely sold their order out in pre-orders. I could wish for a Nimrod MR.2 as well,Airfix are supposed to announce the 2006 major releases at Telford so here's hoping for that Canberra. Stephen :P BTW for those wishing it in 1/48, I've seen the Dynavector one built up and it's BIG!!!!!!!!!

Go to disagree with you there. #1 These are only test shots and as John Adams says there is still a lot to do on the moulds. #2 Trevor Snowden the Airfix designer measured five Spitfires for this so I'd bet the house that this kit is dimensionally accurate. #3 The Hasegawa kit was proportionally short. Stephen

And finally Comments suggestions welcome. Stephen

next again

99% of the painting is done (Need to do the wheelbays and exhausts,intakes will be covered) I started this then remembered why I hate painting yellow. Stephen :blink:

Shawn Hull makes the (V)3 http://www.shull24.com/Catalog/48_17.htm Stephen :blink:

Aeromaster 1/48 CVW-8 USS Nimitz 1977/78 decal sheet. Stephen :lol:

AIM-120C Stephen

Here's the AIM-9X Stephen

The BLU-107 hasn't been done in 1/48 but it was in the 1/72 Airfix/Heller weapons set and the Hasegawa 1/72 F-111D/F kit. Stephen

Welcome to ARC. Stephen (Fellow Brit)

Thanks guys, I've painted it and hopefully pics tomorow. Stephen

I'm with you there Brad,that was my first thought but it may be that Trevor Snowden decided that it would be easier to have them on the wings so they could be removed rather than to have to add them. I'll ask the Airfix guys at Telford Stephen

The other side.

I saw one of these at Leuchars last weekend,am I right in saying that this is the Bell 412 variant and to use the Italeri UH-1N I'd need to get the belcher conversion set? TIA Stephen

Airfix Buccaneer S.2B from e-bay. Italeri UH-1N from Kingkit Gladiator special edition 3 disc set. Stephen

Me too! I could wish for those decals in 1/48 as well. Stephen :)

At the moment,they still fly the C model. CVW-14 has VFA-115 and VFA-22 with Super Hornets Stephen
