Thanks Steve and i will do that fella............sounds like a good plan ;D

CB, you can`t................the dive brakes have an inner panel added to the inside of the brake itself for when youdisplay them open, this doesn`t allow the brake to sit flush to the fuselage, this was really an easy prob for an `ol dec hand like maself tho ((((LOL)))) ;D

Looking good Mark

[`Boots`]

Wow sorry guys i `m a bit late on updating so i have only just noticed the terrific comments so many, many thanks fellas ;D ;D

Butz.........they sort of remained after i sprayed the top coat............i primed her in White by mistake instead of Grey , when i applied the Ford Midnight Blue over the top it left the lower panel lines lighter!!..............look forward to seeing the GT2

Right gotta few pics for ya so i hope ya don`t get too board, been doing some of the ordnance (still 12 rockets to attach and paint yet), dry brushing to bring out some highlights and wear and tear, dive brakes attached (need to weather the inner White yet tho)...........and a few other bits and bobs, still got tyres/wheels to do,Klear coat, etc.













And some undie shots...........











Sorry..........went a bit mad then

Ok...........last one i promise ;D



Thanks chaps

Mark, coming together very nicely!

[406 Silverado]

Get her done Mark......MOM......MOM....hint hint

Very nice work mate

[`Boots`]

Thanks Wouts, Pete and Rob.... ;D

Righto i`m calling this one done............

All the ordanance done, wheels done and a few coats of `Klear` over the matt to give her a shinier look......................i know it`s far from perfect but this was never meant to please the RC brigade, i purely wanted to build my first wingy and just enjoy it....................lots have been learnt and can be put to good use on the next one ;D

Thanks to everyone who followed this little experiment, it really is appreciated ;D











Thank chaps

THE END!!

Boots,for your first finished wingy,this looks the 'peccaries plums'(Dicktionary) ;D ;D.........the ordnance looks well good in those colours!!!!

[TRM]

Amazing job Mark!! Love this plane and the work you did my friend!!! What's next bud? ......fig? LOL!!! (Dicky's fault this time)

[`Boots`]

Cheers fellas.........

CB.............told ya i`d see her thru ;D, and i lay the blame entirely at your door for this sudden wingy adventure .............already been working on one of the Mirage pods ;D

Dicky.......it`s all very well being the `jack of all trades` mate, but until ya can actually master one of `em.......!!! ;D................and there`s more chance of someone leaving 100 grand on the back seat of me cab mate than me doing the above (((LOL)))

`T`.........Thanx mucka............appreciate the kind words indeed, next up is a try at a more modern theme...........it`s the (Eduard 1.48) Mirage 2000C `Tiger meet` finish, with some etch and resin.......i`ve chosen the box art design ;D

[modelfreak72]

And to think you didn't think you had it in you! ;D Awesome finish Mark! I think your a closet wingy guy and just decided to come out! ;)LOL! Bring on the Mirage buddy!

[Deleted]

Hey Boots, none of this first go rubbish, this is a great result! Love the dark blue finish.. Top stuff mate

[multicam]
