Dear friends,

Cheers :-razz

Dear friends... I ave no idea why I did not put image of this build I start few years ago, first images from December 2008 and last February 2009, and did not put details of conversion... but lets start.
-
More images. All of this images show kit with Eduard upgrade as well conversion of the nose as well some correcting, like the extending of air brake.
-
Great work and nice idea
-
It looks great.I can't wait to see this one finished.
-
Thank you friends :)) When the GA.11s were first introduced, in 1962, they went into service with the Fleet Air Arm. At that time they were used as ground attack weapons trainers and so kept the radomes.
Later, in 1969/1970, the aircraft were transferred to a civilian organization called the Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit (FRADU) and were commonly used as simulated air targets. In this configuration most had the radomes removed and the Harley lights fitted in the nose. Later on they received a new, all over Dark Sea Grey, paint scheme (I will do that pattern)
One of bitter problem is that I lost right oleo leg and nose leg crashed so I need to get good full size images and make them from scratch.
-
Great job. I oike it a looooot!!! Excellent,just go forward! :-clap :-clap
-
I did not had the time to check the references for the exact version but this one is one of the best looking and exotic ones i have ever seen.Actually I think that this one is FGA.7
-
Here you are current state of build ;) As you can see I have add small tail pipe, few aerials under and above the fuselage, fuel tanks, protected clear parts and spray it!! Note that etched parts coming from Eduard.
-
Nice progress!!!

In this moment the kit is in gloss coat and tomorrow I will put decals on it :))

Here you are, in this step I have put decals on kit. Decals are as you see Model Alliance and I have receive them from Neil Robinson, former editor of MAM. He as well Jana Sulcova from Eduard give real support in this project :-clap
