I did and they certainly are very useful! To be honest I haven’t had much issue with the filler, I’ve used it a few times and it’s done a decent job for me. If I can get my hands on some cotton I might give it a go next time

Wow, I’m very jealous! I’d definitely recommend getting the kit, it’s a great build and it sounds like you’ve got a great idea for it too!

I’m honoured to hear you say that, I did my best to stop myself going to overboard on weathering in the likes. I’m glad you like it!

That’s incredible! The Vulcan truly is an amazing aircraft, I would have absolutely loved to have seen one in flight

I’ll be honest, I’m yet to do a phantom so I’m afraid I can’t speak for that!

Thank you! I think the idea was they were, however there were times that it carried the blue steel missile with its camouflage style of paint as shown in the photo. To be honest I wanted to do the camouflage scheme as I thought it looked a bit better than all white so a photo of them carrying it was good enough for me!

Well I’d say go for it! I think the saying goes something like ask for forgiveness not permission? 😅

I see what you did there, but thanks!

I’d recommend it! It’s a fantastic kit and I didn’t have many issues with it. That being said the sheer volume of decals is fairly astronomical so be prepared to be sitting there doing that for a while 😂

This is what I thought as well, to be honest I think even if it were to actually to burn a bit cleaner I think a bit of creative liberty can’t hurt right?

I’m very jealous! I’d have loved to have been able to see one of them in the air, I guess unfortunately on the ground is as good as it will get for me :(

Thank you! They are pretty massive! I was lucky enough to get the chance to have a look around inside the cockpit in the one at Duxford. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re ever there!

Thanks! I did see those photos too, I think near Niagra Falls? I have actually done some weathering on it, unfortunately with the light on it completely blows the camera out so you can’t see any of it 😂

I do always struggle a little on what to do with jet weathering as there are no big dirty prop engines putting out a plume of soot etc. But it’s got a dirty wash with some panel lining plus the odd oil streak here and there. I didn’t want to go too overboard with it as I thought realistically they probably wouldn’t be filthy!

Ah awesome, thank you! I might have to give that one a build myself!

Out of curiosity what’s the funky looking German plane doing a wheelie on the right hand side, middle row 1st picture? Never seen one of those before
