I'm not sure about flying, I think there are a couple at Bruntingthorpe that are taxyable...

Almost done now, needs the missiles and pitot tube, a bit of touch up paint such as on the leading edges of the wings, then a final klear coat and a thin wash to highlight panel lines and done. I have to stop myself trying too hard and spoiling things.

Thanks Steve

I'm calling this one done. I put the missile pylons on, and the pitot tube, and a klear coat but couldn't get the panel line wash to go properly without staining the finish too much so I left it. I painted the missiles but the (previously mentioned) fragile decals did not survive placing on the missiles, so this aircraft is unarmed. I have no idea if the aircraft would ever have sat on the ground in this configuration, no pilot and no ground locks, ladder, engine covers etc but this was a straightforward OOB build. I could have done better, with a little more patience and spraying the metal paint rather than brushing. Another out of the stash though, pending next WWI build.
