- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Great work on this suck arse model mate 👍 👌
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Slowly getting closer to the finish line. I added the decals today.

I printed the "Polar Operations Support" decal, with the year and date as the serial number. The black hatch/door on the upper right side looks like the cover for an electrical connection. That's what I'm assuming and how I painted it:



Why yes, I did think of the acronym first... and true to its name, the decal on the right door got smooshed after I applied the decal softener/setting solution.

Other side:



Some of the holes and scratched paint on both sides will receive parts still under construction.

I added a fire extinguisher to the cargo area, next to the fuel tanks:



Top view:



Front view. The tiger mouth and eye decals are from the kit:



The blackout light? on the front left was turned into a hooded light. The round object below it is the horn.

Woah!  :o

How do you get to print WHITE decals?
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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I have a cantankerous old ALPS 5000 printer. It's an annoyance to set up (I have to run a Windows XP virtual machine on my PC) and an annoyance to operate. I only use it when I have to print decals with white or certain colors that would look pixelated on a color laser printer. It's long, long out of production and every time I use it may be its last.

At times it feels like a "Polar Operations Support" printer.
