I've had better ideas than filling in the RB199 exhausts with putty. :(

They're now on the third PSR session with at least two more to go by the look of it. At least the summery weather makes the Presto go off faster, one saving grace anyway.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

I think I've sorted a squadron and scheme for the F6, but I'll have to do all the decals myself, which isn't unusual but I've not done any for a Tonka before.

It'll be 256 Sqdn. which disbanded for good in 1958 after flying Meteor NF14s, but their colours were a pale and medium blue, which could go well on some swoopy stripes running down the fin and along the fuselage.

The PSR on the exhausts continues, but I think I'm almost there now.

My Putty Wu has surely been in the ascendent over the last few days as I've re-modelled the entire rear end of the F6 with only umpteen PSR sessions and just a couple of tiny pieces of scrap styrene.

Here's the updated tail of the F6 showing the new EJ200 exhausts, no sign of the underlying RB199 exhausts, and the new tail chute fairing.



Now it's onto the rather smart resin bang seats, and they'll need some painting before mucho PE and resin bits being attached.
