The undercarriage was fitted followed by painting the uppersurfaces Tamiya Extra Dark Sea Grey and once cured Klear was applied for the decals which were a mix of kit and the source in the photo. The drop tanks and missiles were then fixed in place along with the pitot before another coat of Klear and finally the opening part of the canopy. The kit parts for the aerials towards the rear of the fuselage look wrong so I will replace with something thinner.

Working on HMS Endurance.
From MT Miniatures.
Dodging Icebergs,
Two Wasp Helicopters from Starling Models in attendance.

HMS Fearless too.

A good looking result Chris.

I did model quite a lot of stuff way back in the annals of time.
Perhaps nostalgia is making me try again.
So so far I have HMS Sheffield in Port - posted in thread on 1/700 ships.
I sold all my last lot, mostly to the USA.

Now on with The Falklands War (a revisit really).
Think I may start a new thread.
I did some of this back in 2008 in various scales. Sold them all.

Well done Dave. Great model and great perseverance.

Have posted this, but it failed, trying again.
Rigged

It actually worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A novel twist on a singular diorama. Like the survivors rowing for safety.

Still needs rigging, a double diorama.
