because you obviously have a strong liking for aviation - but that doesn't necessarily mean you wish work in the industry, so I was being nosey :p

Again lovely models being produced :ymapplause: , I thought I would show my almost finished Jet Provost Mk 5A that will, when it is finished fully, be numbered as per the RAF Cranwell gate guardian. When I get the inkjet decal paper and play with that I can make my own decals to correct a cock up on the Typhoon and Nimrod, finish the Jet Provost and Sentry in the new paint scheme and add the last ariels.

I have decided that i will not make a small model again as it is just to fiddly, especially when filling and finishing, I asked the wife what model to make next and she has said the Concorde so that will be my next.

Sorry about the pictures I keep forgetting I have a tripod to use :(

Thanks, but you should see it close up, far to small to get the detail and paintwork right, as I think thumper said the blurry photos hide some of the mistakes, at least with the big models I was able to airbrush, I would not know how to start on something this small hence the hand painting. Even trying to mask bits to paint I found I could not get it as good as I wanted, but maybe the Concorde will be easier, it will certainly be bigger. :p

As far as I know Cluny it is the original version, did not know they had re-released it. When searching, google only came up with the two on Ebay. When they re-release models do they do any updates to correct errors/omissions?

Edited
AL 1: I have found the one you have mentioned but mine was the original 1990 version, Pam I am amazed now if you do a search there are loads of the old and newer version of the JP 5/Strikemaster models now, ruddy typical don't even need to bid for them X(

I might even buy the newer version and check it out
