Started this one a wee while ago so the initial posts are a catch up. The A7V Tauro kit looked to be an Everest sized challenge and far to daunting so when the superb Meng kit appeared this project kicked off.

Not one of my best unfortunately. It's a great kit that has been a battle all the way due entirely to my own stupidity.

I'm some what surprised that even in its darkest hour the Republic would turn the Soviets for weapons.

Another shiny one declared finished today.

I'm very impressed with this build Kev. The precision of your build and finishing is definitely bringing out the best of this kit. Really looking forward to seeing this on display at the club.

Sorry to disappoint Kev this one does not feature acres of fluorescent dayglo colours. Here it is at a fly in sometime in 2014 flying out of Rangitata Island piloted by its current owner Bevan Dewes.

Much and all as I'm enjoying the Proctor III build there is quite a bit of down time waiting for filler to dry out. To fill in the down time I've settled on the new Airfix Chipmunk as a straight forward build which it is proving to be so far. I'm planning to finish it as one of the two used by the Royal Flight training Prince Philip to fly in late 1952.

Indeed, a very useful tip to reduce colour bleed, thanks for sharing this Kev.
