Head on view

A typical Dynavector kit.  What finer accolade can one give!  The plastic is crisp and superbly moulded. The white metal parts excellent, decal sheet

The nose with IFR probe. The probe is from MDC The vortex generators are made from brass. 39 on each wing – stuck in to pre-drilled holes with paint! Another overall shot of the finished model   A view from below. The drop tanks were borrowed from an Academy Hunter

Stunningly printed (although I did need to put a white undercoat on below the roundels and fin flash). I’m gonna run out of superlatives here soon!!! 

An overall view of the finished model

Sadly, for me anyway, this model went Cat 4., soon after completion, so it is currently in the process of being converted to a FAW5 (can you do that with Cat 4?). I’ll post pics of the result. 

I have another FAW9 in the loft, so that will be built soon.
