Hi Guys here is my latest which is built from a test shot of the kit which should appear soon from HK models. I had no decals or instructions to begin with but have added Airscale instrument decals and an MDC Sutton Harness. The markings are from various Xrtadecal sheets and parts stolen from a Revell decal sheet where I got the stencils. I have only published one image as this is for a magazine Model Airplane International .
Hope that you like here?

That looks stunning John I have been following Jim Hatch's build and I'm talking to Neil (of HKM) about something for this. Can I ask if you can let me have some details about the markings? I will be producing a masking set for this wonderful model, Jim used my masks on his I just need what Squadron this belonged to, the pilot if known and where it was based? As I think that I would like to include this scheme in the set.

I'll post a couple of pics of Jim Hatch's build in another thread

John,
What a fantastic looking build. I certainly would love to see more pictures, especially some close ups of all that detail.

Hi Mal

I worked closely with Jim on this project as we built the two models almost in parallel at the same time. We also worked closely with regards to the markings as we did not want to replicate them on two models which will appear in two magazines from one publishing house! If you PM me I shall send you as much information as I can on the bird I built as well as the size of the codes I used etc. I will also send you the references I used too.
best regards
John
