Here’s my second go for this GB.  Nicely moulded, no flash and no warped parts   Let’s get on then  |

Will be quick and fun! I'm here, next to Guybro but at a social distance and wearing mask! Mickey Mouse camo, like the box art?

Welcome fellas, I’m hoping this goes more to plan Marco, this will be an RAF vehicle, just to shake it up a bit |

Very nice, Steve, and you can probably count on a lot less problems with this project. I just cracked open my Tamiya F-14 and Sheridan and what beautiful kits.

Thanks for stopping by so promptly fellas Paul, the reports are right It’s amazing how far you can get in an hour when the parts actually fit together…  Just 4 EPMs to fill, I left some filler to give a surface to dry brush as I thought it might add interest, as it turns out you can’t really see it anyway  more when I can mateys |

A joy to build with lots of space in the back. What will you put in?

Great start, Steve! Yes, great fit and ease of construction is nice after our respective forays with Sea Kings and Nimrods.

Without a doubt one of the best little kits out there, looks great!

Thanks for the great comments fellas Here’s where we are today, colour blocks done. Tamiya XF-18 blue and home mix yellow and khaki, again using Tamiya. It’s a bit contrasty at the moment but pastels will help there and there’s some touching up to do but you get the idea. The purists will be screaming at the screen as there’s little evidence that the RAF used the Austin Tilly, they mostly had the Hillman version. There’s even less evidence that a Tilly was used on the flight-line but until I’m shown the full service record for every Austin made I’ll go for this Costal Command run-a-bout complete with ‘don’t run me over’ yellow panels  more when I can |
