Holger KranichGreat BAC build, Augie!
But like the SEPECAT, my eyes will always struggle with pylons ABOVE wings! I know its the real thing but it just looks strange to me!😄😄
Are the markings from the box?? And how have you made the yellow stripe on the canopy? From a decal? Or just with steady hands?
15 June 2014, 16:42
Augie Authorthankies chaps 🙂
@ Holly :- pylons over the wings are odd.. makes me think someone was a little drunk, but then means no issues with flap clearence.
The Markings are from the box, and really airfix decals are excellent.. the highvis panels show no bleed through from the under colours..... and I have to make a admission here.. the yellow stripe on the canopy is decal..
15 June 2014, 16:49
Holger KranichYep, flap clearence, i know. But you are with me, it just looks strange...😢😢
Is it a decal made for the purpose or did you make the decal for the canopy scratch?

Holger KranichI always struggle when it comes to those yellow canopy stripes! 😄😢

Urban GardiniExcellent mate! But the wingtanks wasn't used other than for longer flights n' not for combat ready sorties.
15 June 2014, 17:04
Augie Authorvery true Urban, ferry flights only.. although I have seen pictures of a F.6 with over wing tanks trailing a Tu-95..
Holly, it was a specially done decal as part of the decal sheet.. took a load of decal sol to sit..
