Phantom FG.1 XV573

Martin-Baker mk.7 in progress

Two seats finished. 

 

Tried a chipping approach to the titanium plating, but it didn't turn out the way I had intended. The final effect is still acceptable in my opinion. 

Painting went smoothly, except for a few spilled drops from the cup at the very end. At this point I noticed I used the wrong tail, as I misread whether XV573 received a RWR at this stage. I believe the RWR was added when it was transferred to No. 111 squadron. 

Applying decals.
