I see you have a model alliance set of decals there, have you chosen the scheme that you will be doing yet? They all look interesting

[Phill318]

Ye I think I'll do XN976 in the toned down 208 Sqn 75th Anniversary Scheme

[MarkG]

Top model mate.. I want one of these....well one day.!!

[Phill318]

Cheers. I think I'll be getting some Flightpath extras because I need an AN/ALQ 101 pod and CBLS 100 pods. As I said the progress will be slow so if I buy these extras now I won't be delaying the build
Good Luck everyone else!!

Sorry it took me so long Ben, but I got called into work and had to do a double shift.
Any way I have found some more winter schemes, sadly not gr1's but they give a good idea on the paint

Hope these help, off to bed again now before another long shift

Cheers Viper. Much appreciated.
Now what ? Green/white or grey/white. I have seen the GR3 in both but the Gr1 only in the grey/white. I will see if I can find a GR1 in green/white it looks so much smarter.
Still not arrived but did pick up some supplies from `The Model Shop` in Hull this morning. I have never used filler believe it or not. Also visited here -


Mobile dongle cant handle the upload. Its a model shop in Bruge I visited yesterday. Its just around the corner from the market square near a fish market if anybody ever visits. Its a nice break from chocolate, lace, clothes shops.

I've done some more this afternoon and during the week . I'm quite pleased how its coming along.
Undercarriage bay





I've made a few changes to the cockpit i got rid of the lime green display.

todays work, I put in some wires to add a bit of detail



Thanks for looking, comments welcome

Its looking realy good mate. That looks like a very complicated kit with a lot of parts.
Oh well .... If nobody else enters this part of the competion I might just get second.
Keep up the good work.

[nick197]

Cheers mate, My downfall will be the painting .

[benyboy]

Uni Exams pah ! Get ur priorities right mate
I realy like the look of this kit. I think I might get one after the Harrier. I have just been looking at the Bucc in desert cammo, Red Flag scheme. Looks realy smart.

Good look with the competion

My mate Stu brought this kit, got it home and discovered 2 full kits inside (although only 1 decal sheet). He rang me and said there was another in the shop. So I zoomed off down there, felt the box......mmmmm, nice n fat n heavy, bosh bosh, 2 Buccs for the price of 1 . Never touched them yet though!

Its a bit late now, it was when the kit first released. It was Sports & Fashions in Huntingdon BTW

Ray

[viper3111]

Oh well, I will have to start testing the weight of boxes as and when I find one

[Flyingmonster]

This looks like a good build mate!!

[Flyingmonster]

The cockpit is looking rather good mate!!
Looks like a very good start!!

[viper3111]

Now that is a nice kit as it is a scaled down version of the 48th kit (or the 48th version is a scaled up version of the 72nd if you prefer ) Does it still come with the small PE fret and white metal wheel hubs?
I will ask my favourite question (I cant help it but colour schemes fascinate me), are you doing the box 'aces' scheme or is there something else on the cards (no pun intended) as there are some cracking decals on the market for both this and the 48th kits.

[Flyingmonster]

This looks like a nice model!
I looked at doing a Helicopter but went against it!!

What helicopter were you thinking of doing? Haven't built one myself for a few years, looking forward to this one,
