blackbetty Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 thanx derek for the nice words Very nice work. The flag on the airbrake's a bit curious, as it's right to left-if you know what I mean-as opposed to left to right which would seem more natural. Some nice wide pics would be great when she's finished, cheers! uhh- ohh i hectically pulled out my reference.....could it be that....??? i remeber the decal beeing assymetrical, so no way to put it on backwards, or is there? sigh of relief: the photo of the real thing shows it the same way but i appreciate you taking a good hard look kagemusha, you didnt just scroll past it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I wasn't suggesting you'd put it on wrong, just that it was strange that it was painted that was in the first place, normally in the west everything's left to right, sorry if I alarmed you!

blackbetty Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 thanx habu very good pic jack. do you have a timeframe when it was taken? i now know the plane has the three (per side) tailstiffeners, didnt have evidence of this before (maybe all As have these?) and i would have been better off to use the walkway decals that came with the kit, they have the grey lines on them, also my walkways are too wide -sigh- part 392 of the search for the perfect model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
