Marching forward slowly. Finally got some RAF letters and numbers added. Now I have to print my own decal markings that read "Royal Navy VX250" as well as the 809 Naval Air Squadron crest. This model will represent Sea Hornet NF Mk21 that served on the HMS Indomitable, 1952.

Slow is the word Spiros. Meanwhile I haven't printed my own decals in several years so i hope my stash of decal printing paper and liquid decal film hasn't gone south on me or this means another delay.

With the holidays here and a second Covid lockdown just days away here in CA it's just wacky trying to get everything done much less time for modeling without feeling "guilty" if you know what I mean. Hope all is well in Greece.

Back in business after printing my own decals to get the correct Royal Navy VX250 markings which are unavailable elsewhere far as i can tell. I ran out of decal paper so it will be a few days before I can print the squadron crest that was painted on the nose.

Moving forward, the folding wings are completed and ready to install. Note the tube formation lights I made on the rear of the wing tip. Needs a touch of white glue for a lens. Next up is some slight weathering on the main fuselage and wings and then a final clear coat. Won't be long before this Hornet will be standing on it's legs.Getting close to the finish line at last.

Very nice homemade decals Eric (@eb801). Looking forward to the new supply of paper arriving and the squadron crest being added 🙂

Eric (@eb801), the icing sure makes the cake look good! Enjoy the leg slapping. . .

GEAR DOWN!

A note about the flaps: extra care must be used when removing them from the Trumpy's novel sprue attachment points. One must be cautious about not accidentally cutting off the flap hinges.

reminds me of the challenges I had when I flew a Caravan on amphibous floats - you had to make sure the Gear was UP for landing on water. . .
Eric, I will not ask how you know about those flaps. . .

Love it Eric!
Unmistakable Sea Hornet, so far departed from the original kit!
