Title: Gluin' & Buildin' & Paintin' & Sprayin'
Post by: Ian the Kiwi Herder on December 07, 2005, 11:35:55 AM
So with all the madness and revision that preceded my exams very much in far distance - well at least until the resits - this means I can go modeling crazy.

Yesterday I finished-off the FGR2 Phantom that accompanied me to Telford - some of you will have seen it sitting in a box just beside me. Then paicked-up that Revell Hunter that you saw me with. This one isn't gonna be Whiffed, it's going to be in 4FTS colours from the very early seventies (Red/White/Lt A/c Grey).

Then I picked up one of my Italeri Hawk T1's..... How's about overall RAF Cockpit Green with Bright Orange (perhaps Dayglo) 'don't crash into me' bands and Irish Air Corps roundels.... :wub: Got the Cockpit tub painted grey already and the BIG canopy dipped in Johnsons Kleer.

Next-up (tomorrow) perhaps a Starfighter or maybe a Draken and some 43Sqn markings.... hmmmmm - Ohh yeah and a OOB Tamiya Spit I for the ARC BoB group build !

Later

8.14 in the morning, lovely and sunny (what else!) in Thumrait and the camels are emptying the garbage bins again in their endless search for cardboard boxes to eat.
Will head off in an hour for the 180km round trip to Salalah for shopping and KFC.

Later it will be hot and dry, cool and dry overnight and hot and dry tomorrow!

Cheers

Tony

Myself and Ms K5054NZ went to see it last night, the theatre was full (we were quite lucky to get seats actually). Great movie! Amazing! New Zealand's done it again! Bring on Kong, that's what I say.
