The Nimrod is not forgotten but I am still battling the wing roots. I am still working on the Tamiya filler but made some good progress. Regards, Ian    |

Thanks, Paul. Ordinarily an easy fill job but the curve of the fuselage makes the wing root hard to access.

Seems like another build I've completely missed, sorry
You sure have had some issues with this kit

Robbo, actually not a bad kit but the wing root is in a very difficult spot, (concave actually) between the engine nacelle and fuselage bulge so it's hard getting sanding implements in there.

Boots, Joe...thank you. I got back on the Nimrod after battling that horrible wing root. I got the RAF Hemp color applied last night and I went with the AK Hemp color. This shade appears to be spot on. I also had the Vallejo Hemp but it looked way too Olive in color. I just have a few spots to touch up and then I will get the Aircraft Grey undersides painted. Regards, Ian   |

Always thought RAF Hemp was one of the best camouflage colours ever, shame they don’t use it now.
Looks like it went on very nicely too.
