Well, at the Captain's request  ^_^ Here's a picture of my latest finished project. Don't want to add several as this isn't a Whiff after all.

Belgian Air Force RF 84F Thunderflash in 1/72. Kit is the Italeri kit. Build OOB except for the decals. They came from DACO.

To see more, check out the webpage, as usual  :rolleyes:

mmmm, wavy camo demarcation....  :wub:

How is the kit btw?  There were so many colourful schemes worn by that bird I wouldn't mind picking one up.

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

Thanks guys, always nice to show something and then get such possitive comments  ;)

BO; yes, there where over 200 decals on the sheets and I used about 3/4 of them, only leaving the smallest ones, and almost invissible ones, unused. Took me several hours, spraid over several weels to get it done. Crazy and something I'm not going to repeat soon.

Nev, the kit is quit good, no fitting problems, and not much filler needed. Cocpit detail is non existing and the seat is just the basic form so, if you want, lots of place for improvement. kit decals are for a German, Italian and French version as wel as for an USAF aircraft based in Japan. Can't say anything about them as I haven't used them (yet).
I'd say, considering it's price, a nice value for your money.
