Re: Splash's Widowmaker
That is looking great Splash. I call into out chazza shop from time to time and have found some great books but kits seem to be thin on the ground. That big Harrier of yours was certainly a steal - bargain of the decade I would say!
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Slight glitch with the decals the roundals went on no problem but the black lettering just shattered.

Re: Splash's Widowmaker
Nice work Splash, I have the Italeri boxing of this kit. I had seen the Humbrol ones and always wondered what was in the box. Pity about the decals , most of the old Esci ones I had have gone the same way.

Re: Splash's Widowmaker
Bad scene with those decals Splash, that is extremely annoying when it happens. I hope you can source some replacements.

Re: Splash's Widowmaker
Luckily the Dutch roundals did not go the way of the code numbers so all is not lost.
I'm nearly finished just minor parts to add and some small paint touch ups required before I call this one finished.

Re: Splash's Widowmaker
Damn shame about the decals Splash. Unfortunately it's always a bit risky with older kits.
Have you sourced replacements?

Re: Splash's Widowmaker
Tonight I forgot I had planned a night out with friends so no bench time, all I need to do is a couple of very minor touch ups and paint the tyres fit the canopy and it's done until I can get some replacement decals.

Re: Splash's Widowmaker
All I need to do is wait for the canopy glue to set and then paint the canopy.
Once that's done later tonight it will be finished, with glamour shots to follow probably tomorrow.

Looks great Splash, I have 3 Starfighters in the stash. Must move them up a notch or 2.
