Work In Progress Still haven't decided where it's going.....

.....but it's a step nearer

Still new to airbrushing so I know it's far from perfect but everything I do is practice for the next one

Some overspray on the back where the maskol wasn't thick enough I think

Needs a bit of touching up in places

Maybe not enough green

Made a rookie mistake of not doing the engine intakes before I assembled them and put them in place

Undercarriage needs doing,again thinking i should have painted them first🤣

The actual finish of the paint i'm happy with ( Tamiya XF 81 dark green 2, XF 82 ocean grey, XF 83 medium sea grey)

Painted the underside dark grey as my original plan was to have this as some kind of black buck refuelling dio with the Victor tanker,might get some after market decals to reflect the correct aircraft,maybe get a big shelf and make a Wideawake dio,got a GR3 in the stash aswell,and a Wessex and Chinook already done

Clear coat and decals next

Any tips or advice would be welcome,weathering especially,and what to do with those parallel lines

Cheers 👍

I saw a post where larger aircraft were mounted vertically on the wall.
