My in-box review of the Pavla T.11:-http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/review/9468
And now the parts are painted and installed:-
I used dark grey pencil rubbed over details to lighten it up a bit.

OK, we're into the home straight. Masked and sprayed the underside gloss white last week, left it for a couple of days before unmasking, then took two days to mask all the gloss white ready for the upper fuselage to be sprayed turquoise green. Considering there are only two main colours to this scheme, the masking was quite a job! I'm sure it will be worth it in the end.
I'm glad that the paint has gone on quite well, I have the sinking feeling that my compressor is on the fritz.
Cheers Everybody!

.....aaaaand I'm done! I am pretty pleased with how it turned out, it was a really nice kit to build. I had a couple of scary moments with the clear parts, which are some of the finest, most delicate canopies I've ever seen.
A quick reminder of the airframe this one is based on:
Cheers Everybody! Same time next year then?

Hey kids! Some really great builds of the old Vamp here, but this campaign only has a few days left and still no ribbon. ANY creative types out there?

A couple ribbon ideas, just to have some. I acknowledge that this is NOT my strong point.

I think the first and the last ones are the best, at least SOMEONE has made the effort - well done Sean!

Thanks, guys! I agree, I like the top one the most too.
Hopefully the admin can make something useful from these.

Squeezing it into 50 X 18 wasn't easy.

Oh, I should have read the instructions! Here's that one at 50x18...
-Sean
edit: Wait, now I did go back and read the directions. Here I'm posting the 50x20, but with the correct link to see it all...
Jessie, I hope I'm making your life easier, not harder.
thanks so much!

Hi all! Sean was good enough to send me the .gif for the ribbon he designed and I have uploaded it and awarded it to the five modellers who posted pics of their finished builds in the gallery. If I missed anyone, let me know.
Thanks to you all for participating in this interesting campaign!
