VG 33 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hello Very nice job with this early jet. Did you enjoy with the nose tranfers? Sincerely. Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 HelloVery nice job with this early jet. Did you enjoy with the nose tranfers? Sincerely. Patrick After first putting them on upsaude down! they went on really well, was surprised at how well the decals went on as they were the original ones. In all this ws a quick build, no major fit problems just really the centre seam which had to be rubbed down. Some of todays manufacturers could take a leaf from this kit, nearly fell together, even removing the k moulded nose and replacing it with the photo recon one was easy. Now I am going to build the fighter version, but for the Airfix/Heller GB Cheers for the comments, Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if you had a chance to look thru the NAS Pensacola album I posted a few weeks ago but I think you'll find this image very interesting! http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid2...b0/ec53dd49.jpg Edited November 15, 2006 by TF51GREGWISE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I deliberatly did not do the silver canopy frame on the blue as its so small in 1/72 I knew I would mess it up! I am glad the real thing sits slightly down at the front as the model does this and I was worried that I had the landing gear wrong. Do you have a link to the rest of the album?
