I tried to post these late last night. For some unknown reason, they didn't. Not to worry

Doing it in 73Sqdn in Egypt colors. Academy decals are not my cup of tea... Curses... the darn pictures are screwy...

My paint shaker broke last night! :frantic :frantic :frantic

My original shakers have arthritis in both thumbs, this is going to be fun!

Almost done.
 
Barney, have you opened your paint shaker? My (ancient) Robart shaker stopped a couple of weeks ago. The motor was running but no shaking going on. Opened it and the little arm under the bottle holder had slipped off. As it had a small hole up through the middle I found a screw put the parts back together and threaded the screw in.

Also there are paint shakers for nail polish that work the same, look a little different and cost about $20 instead of the $40 for a Robart.

Almost there. Of course, not having assembled a 1/72 kit in years I am relearning past lessons. I only lost the gun site, 4 gear doors and didn't protect join surfaces like I should have... So, decals and glass and it is finished.

Oh, and the colors are not quite right, not by half. But that is the way the mop flops sometimes. Still this will be the first complete kit I have posted since I was laid off in 2010.

very nice model Barney,

I cannot get the Pictures straight either. Somehow they are always crooked. Hopefully on the new site things will be different.

Cheers

Alex

oooh nice australian bird mate
 
Actually the decals show more of an SA theme (orange ball in the roundel) verses Aussie. You'll see!
