FAA  models in 1/72 scale kit review ? modelling report
 

Scimitar
The model now got its coat of Dark Sea Grey and white undersurfaces.
The grey continues on the lower leading edge so you will need to do some careful masking. 

The very small cockpit got some details with instruments made from decalpaper.

Final finishing was applying the undercarriage, wing pylons and some "stores". I obtained an old model sidewinder a-a missile from the spares box.

The provided kit canopy is in fact too small, but there is not a lot that can be done here. 


The Czech master kit has some nice decals. Below the roundels I put some white round disk from white decal as they are a bit thin. 

I depicted the HMS Eagle based around 1965  800B squadron Scimitar F1 

So.... a nice Scimitar in the FAA collection....
