So, this brief bench session was mostly spent carefully blending & buffing the putty spots. There wasn't a whole lot to be done, but I was trying to preserve as much of the raised panel lines as I can.
On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister

Very likely, we get lots of sun, most of it is for decoration only. :)
Next up, the cockpit. As the canopy will be closed I won't be going overboard with detailing here. Added some masking tape harness straps as they'll be quite visible.
Noseweights set me back a grand total of 4 cents Canadian, fit in there just right.Attachment points sorted out for the rocket racks...SQUIRREL!!!!Peanuts for SQUIRREL!!! Nothing but the good stuff. I'm secretly hoping he starts wearing a monocle.Right, where was I? Fuselage sealed up, wings assembled & attached, elevators attached. Very little putty needed topside, a little more on the underside, but to be honest I saw a lot of "If I'd done this instead of that" moments that could've reduced the putty even more.
Revenant . So...9-10 days of Canadian sunlight would equate to how many days of Georgian sunlight?

about three hours.
For anyone who thinks it's just an urban legend, YES, it really does work.
9-10 days of good Canadian sunlight...
Closed canopy is the option here.Yep, low parts count.Taped up - no major issues.The only spot that looks like it will have any work is the rear wing underside to lower fuselage joint.No ordnance included here. The Israelis used these mostly as a ground-attack platform. I've got a set of unguided rockets from a late-mark Academy Spitfire. Think I'll try to modify some old drop tanks to play the part of napalm tanks, I saw a pic last night of that setup. The other option seems to be a pair of 500-pound bombs.
Just populating this thread to get the build properly logged.
I can't NOT do the shark's teeth option...
The overall silver Frenchie version doesn't look bad either, also has that "double unit marking" on either side of the nose,
It was a steal!Not much to the assembly.Very sharky!Decals.... colour still looks good, but the carrier film had yellowed some - hung them in a window to bleach that out a little.
