Come out well Kit  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Love it Kit!  :thumbsup:  :wub:

I have a liking for contrast-coloured rudders. :thumbsup:

It would have looked crazy with an RAF fin flash and a French tri-colour rudder I think.
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! :)

Thanks Colin, it was nice to build, and as you noted, the styrene is much finer than on other Pegasus kits.

I just made a bit of a pig's ear of the painting because I didn't select my pattern and stick to it, so it's a bit 'layered', but it looks a lot better with the matt coat applied.

- 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.

Nice! :thumbsup:

I think it would have looked more ... appropriate ... without the RAF fin flash but with the French tri-colour rudder. ;)

Maybe so, but the local SATCO said 'No'.
