What more do you have to do to it?

Just finish off the Transfers or Decals, add a couple of whip Antenna and tidy up the paint work
(I hope thats all Drink)

Be sure to post more pics when you do so I can put it in the whiffies thread Cool

Tiny update today, as I keep having to go to work(the curse of the  Drink Classes)
Anyway on with the photo's

Today the Privateer is sharing the pan with the Atlantic MR.1 Up on jacks (O.K: paint pots Grin)
and a visiting Buckeye T.2RN from the C.L.T.S. (Carrier Landing Training Squadron) RNAS Yeovilton



So I have added a couple of whip antenna on the fwd. fuselage, and a large VHF blade aerial.
Under the wings and rear fuselage are pairs of Dipole antenna.



and near the "B" I've added a pitot probe each side



Still to come: the HF Ariel's from the fin to the Fuselage, `Walk Here' markings on the Tailplane,
A squadron badge (for the Fin) Nose U/C doors and some sort of Varnish finish that will help the
decals blend in more, If you know what I mean  rolleyes

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

The BUSINESS!  cheesy

That blue really suits your upddated Privateer, and it looks SO right as a RAF aircraft too, superbly done.
