did a little bit of decalling this arva whilst the little un was asleep.

Always good to get the national markings on as the subject really starts to come to life then  B)

Finished decalling last night.  Decals are from a Cutting Edge Phantoms sheet - been a real good un that sheet as its Iranian, Spanish and now S Korean markings have all found their way on what-ifs  :D

Looking good Nev,
yeah, those little things can take up lots of time. I try to do most of them during construction or while waiting for paint to dry. Helps finishing sooner.

<_<  mm, come to think of it, why does it takes me so long to finish something then?

:cheers:

Looking good Nev, like you the "transfers" stage is when a model comes to life for me, but the little jobs at the end can take a bit of time !

One almost finished model, one started (the 2000) and Mrs Nev - go Tiger  :rolleyes:  
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I always reckon that a model takes as long AFTER the decalling stage as before.
Just think...transparancies, varnishes, weathering, wheels, stores, (and in my case story and base, figures, etc..)
:P
Looking good though Nev.
Keep it away from Nick :lol:

what stores will you be putting on there?

2 x 500lb LGB, Pave Spike pod and ECM pod, plus belly tank.

And as it will be having an open canopy, I'll definately keep it away from Nick!  :lol:

I'm suitably impressed!    :wub:  :wub:  :wub:
Very nicely executed.  Can't wait to see that weathering.
It suddenly occurred to me that this is 1:72, to top it off.
Fantastic.  Please keep the pics coming.
I'm on call this weekend and will have to live vicariously through others' modeling successes!
