hey Chris, that Priest looks great!  You managed to pack a lot of weathering on that little guy, but I think it works, has that well used look.

Didn't you do some research for the markings, are they still to be put on?

regards,

Jack

I did up the markings for the 13th RCA from the 3rd Inf Div.  Based in the armoured acorn site.

I'll grab a pic later today, but I found the unit decal turned out fine but the divisional one wasn't as crisp as I would have liked it.  At 1/72 I couldn't get that picky though

Hope you all don't mind me asking for a couple more days.  Was going to have the F-18 done today, but my trucks radiator decided to let go last night. Spent most of the day putting it back together.  John

Yes I will do another one before the spring most likely.

This one is essentially done, except for tempestjohnny finishing up his cool looking CF-18.

Nice work on that decal Johnny, it's a great scheme.

I've decided to make my entry in the Trainer GB another Canadian Chipmunk. It should sit well with the one I did here. It's similar (yellow), but without the dayglo red patches.

Cheers

TP, yea that turned out real nice.  I'm not familiar with the markings either - some anniversary special? Grats on getting her done.

Thanks. The markings are a 60th anniversary special. They are the alternate markings in the kits box.  Blue Angels is the box art markings

I've been a little MIA for a while and slowly catching up.

That hornet turned out great with some unique markings!
