Decaling finished...

Thanks my friend @johnb! Indeed, I consider the SAAF insignia among the most charming ones!

Starting to attach the landing gear...

Great improvements on the landing gear, Spiros @fiveten.
Both, brake lines and retracting rods do add a lot to this kit.

Spiros your Impala looks great! Well done my friend. The SAAF insignia is a golden Springbok with the outline of the Castle, built by the first Dutch settlers in Cape Town, as the background. This SAAF insignia changed after 1994 when the Castle and Springbok was replaced by an Eagle over the Castle and then the Castle outline was replaced by an African tribal 'kraal' behind an Eagle.

Very true indeed my friend. The cockpit needs a bit of scratchbuilt details and the exhaust can also benefit from scratchbuilt details. It is a nice kit from Esci. I built this kit back in 1984 as a young boy cutting his modelling teeth on his first 1/48 kit.

Looking great, Spiros @fiveten
No high heels for her, less chance in knocking the landing gear off.
