Now As for some time had passed I decided the preshading did not look right for this model so I recoated with flat white which I think looks much better now to my eyes now on to the future and then on to decals.
I have used most of the decals but not all but two spectrum roundels on the lower surface have never been seen on the TV programme and are actually a figment of the imagination of a Airfix this means that I have two spare roundels to use on the SPV vehicle that's in my redo pile. The decals are bit thick but they go down a treat the only slight problem I had was with a large letter A on the underside to get it in to the right place a bit fiddly but not too bad and I decided to use the red line from the back of the cockpit two the tail but that when on easily just a matter of making sure it was straight.
Only things left to do is the rear vences two be painted the cockpit headrest for the seat the back of the cockpit and the canopy I've also found an old captain scarlet angel interceptor stand and that will be the last thing to do.
However I must say this model to build was the same amount of building as the camera which seems a lot for such a small model but that's the way things go sometimes.
This year's SMA has been a lot of fun for me and hopefully you've had as much fun as I have hope all your endeavours have been in time for the end of the SMA I am looking forward to next Year's can't wait till it comes happy modeling to one and all see you soon bye for now.
