I'll be building large 48th scale. Just got a load of spare decals too,so it's opened the options even wider!

Well, i better get a move on or i'll be lagging behind with my build. I've still not decided on which markings and paint scheme i will be going for but that won't be a problem just yet. I'm thinking of doing mine wheels up,something different and i'd like to use the pilot figure as he looks really good. Anyway,here's my photos of the box contents......

I might be using aftermarket wheel struts and ejection seat,hence the phot of the above.

Ok,made a good start on my F6. Super kit again from Airfix,no problems with fit at the moment. Going together really well. Got all the interior bits added and the fuselage joined together now,left the ejection seat out as i haven't finished painting it yet. Got the wings to do today and hope to have them fitted by tonight?

Hello one and all,just a few more photos to keep the interest alive! :lol: Been trying to get a decent silver finish and i think i've got it now? I'll be doing a bit more with finishing but have got what i wanted....eventually! :roll:
At least the kit detail is still visible too,so hopefully i'll not be long getting this finished.
