Maid a start on the cockpit as usual and why I was waiting for paint to dry I put a couple of missiles together and as you can see, you'll see what bit I lost to the carpet monster   |

Interested in how the paints work. Also really going to watch that digital camo pattern. I have wanted to try that on some armour but haven't been brave enough.

Thank you chaps.
The camo is decals, if it had been painted I wouldn't have bought it. Mind you the decals are very big and will take careful positioning and a lot of solution to settle down

Not very good cockpit but it is about the size of your thumb nail so it'll be fine, I've done myself no favours by zooming in so much Cockpit closed up and wing on, time to walk away and let it set    |

Cheers Mence, I'll try not to muck it up.
The kit is building up very nicely, little bit of filler here and there but nothing major so far

I've looked at that kit a couple times. Now I'm going to watch you build it and probably spend some money lol
How thick is that canopy? I know the cockpit was thumbnail size, will you be able to see anything through it?

The canopy is pretty good, nice and shiny with no hint of a seam
Back from my week off now so will crack on very soon

Very cool build, mate! I can’t wait to see your final camo work…I love that trident Sybil on the back, as shown on your reference shot. I’ve heard of this bird, but have never seen it so, very excited to see this build. Question… did you use putty around the cockpit? …if so, what an awesome job!

Thank you kindly chaps. OK back from my R&R and I have a Mig ready for primer Few small bits not on there yet as I've learnt the hard way that I always knock little bits off so they will be added later   |
