Folks, This is my attempt at the Tamiya F16. Conversion set from Isra Cast Decals From Isra Decal Paints From Ammo Mig This has been kicking around my bench for over ten years anf I finally got around to finishing it. Decals and conversion were bought at the same time as the model. A great kit which I enjoyed building. I had a few issues with the decals which came apart in water and were a bit of a nightmare to put on. This could be down to their age. I cannot vouch for complete accuracy as I am not an expert on the subject. It was a little rushed at the end as I was finishing it for the Irish Model Soldire Scoiety show it Dublin. I was pleasantly surprised when it picked up Bronze it its class. Hope you enjoy. Regards Michael

Got it at Christmas. An excellent read.

That's great thank you. Michael

Folks a question for the B17 experts. Apologies if it has already been asked. Is it possible to use the HK B17F as a basis for the RAF MkII? Regards Michael

Paul, Thank you very much appreciated. You did the hard work. I just put it together. Regards Michael

Thanks Mike, I thought it was a bit shiny out of the can. As they were painted silver and not natural metal I wanted to tone it down a bit. 502 being a Reserve Squadron I guessed that they would tend to keep their machines quite clean. I gave it two very light coats of thinned Tamiya semi gloss clear X35. Still has a bit of a shine but not too much. My first attempt at painting silver. Hopefully not looking too bad. Regards Michael

Folks, This is my take on the Meteor T7. Built using the HK Meteor, Paul Fisher's fantastic T7 Conversion set and markings using MalMayfield's fantastic Miracle Masks. I wanted to do this for a long time and in these markings. The model represents a machine of 502 ( Ulster ) Squadron Royal Aux Air Force Aldergrove 1956. Painted mostly using Tamiya AS12 decanted into the Airbrush. My thanks go to HK for producing the kit and especially Paul Fisher and Mal Mayfield without their talents I would never have completed this build. Hope you all enjoy. Thanks for looking. Regards Michael

Folks, A few more photos. Not great but I have the grandkids this weekend and no opportunity to take better photos. Regards Michael

Folks, Thank you all for your kind comments. When time allows I will post more photos. Regards Michael
