The pair of them together.

Both need finishing off with yet more stencils and the Typhoon needs more of its weapons fit.

I won't be putting all the stencils on as the typhoon for example would be covered from head to toe in decal film! I've gone for a 3SQ example rather than the kits 29SQ.

Spot on Andy, I was trying out the big decals on the tail fin before I go on holiday. In the background is detritus from other GBs - A dora awaiting replacement decals, a ground base from the diorama Gb awaiting inspiration and a couple of landies running away from the cold war gb.

Which manufacture are yours from? Ive got the Alley Cat ones in the stash and they look lovely.

How did you find them?

thomasweir · Posted: Fri 07 Aug 2009 21:45 pm Post subject:

I've only put the tail decals on yet and they go on perfectly. They don't need any setting agent or solution. I took Paul's advice and painted the tail white so the white of the decal remained white and did not have any black showing through.

I've just acquired this for the AMSIG builds

The Typhoon and Spitfire are nearly done.

Next on the agenda will be Wallace and Gromitt!

I've just started the Wallace and Gromitt Land Rover (pictures to follow)

There are no painting guides to the Land Rover body itself,and no paint is provided in the box, so is one of those kits where you leave the body in its original plastic and just paint certain parts as indicated?

If you go onto the airfix site you can download the instruction manual from there:
