Here is the Viscount with some decals on it. I didn't paint enough of the fuselage white so the blue stripe went on the natural metal part of the airplane. Whoops. Oh well, will try and finish it tomorrow.



Thanks for looking, Russell.

And you said I build fast... lol Nice one Russell. Are there windows on that thing, or just openings for them? Hard to tell from the photos. Thanks for sharing. "Q"

Hey Matthew, yeah, I am using Krystal Clear to make windows for the Viscount. I'll post some pictures when it's done and the windows have dried and gone from opaque to clear. Thanks for the words. Russell

Ahhh, that makes sense. I do that with builds that have small window openings too. I used that technique on the EB-66 I just finished recently. I think the windows were still white when I posted the pics of it too.. Viscount is looking good thus far. Keep at it. "Q"

Thanks Tim, the kit is 1/96 scale, from Glencoe. It isn't too bad a kit. I am letting the Krystal Clear dry in the windows and will post some finished photos later. Again, thanks again for your kind words. Russell

Here is the finished product. The Krystal Clear is still drying, hence the milky colored windows. I didn't paint the white down the side of the fuselage enough, the blue strip is suppose to be over white not natural metal. Oh well. Enjoy. Russell
