Jet Provost T.3 double build
Parallel build of Airfix' recent Jet Provost. Although one is the T.4 boxing, both will be T.3 at the end. Both will get the kit decals from AX02103: One will be aircraft grey/ dayglo from No.2 FTS at RAF Gaydon, the other will be red/white from No. 1 FTS at RAF Linton-on-Ouse.

@David Taylor, I know. Unfortunately Warpaint only has drawings of T.3 and 4 with retracted gear. But I assume that they have the same tire size.

@Felix: They worked great on the flat surfaces, but are very thick and brittle. I tried every trick I knew but never got them soft enough to bend/conform to the leading edge of the wing. Instead they cracked into small pieces, and color was near impossible to match.

@Keith: Thanks for your warning. Luckily, I have two sheets. I'll try my best with all the chemicals I have.

Never seen the Blufix stuff myself, but watch out whether it doesn't dry inside the box. See my Rocket UV Glue adventure with Caravelle:
