    Ok, just for you Zuluecho some more Gekko shots as requested....
    the cockpit was masked outside and inside for this one. A few days before it was to be attached it was blown off the table by the airconditioner and I almost stepped on it, unfortunately one propellor assembly was not so lucky...CRUNCH! Had to take a prop from another kit and redo it.

    And for some reference here is the primary photo showing the very clean appearance of this Gekko and you can also see the darker patch or band of paint around the mid fuselage area.

    Never realized the Pitot probe on the SU-27 was so close to the cockpit. Wonder why? Sukhoi couldn't model the probe interaction with the fuselage to mount it someplace else? Odd.

    Great work. I'm very impressed.

    I should never have revisited this thread after posting my own. Humbling.

    Hi Guys, hope all is back to normal? I couldn't get on yesterday for some reason.

    Here are some final shots of the Gekko for you zuluecho, before I move on...

    Matt308 please don't despair it took lots of time and practice and above all learning the skills to make a good model, your models aren't bad mate!but you do need to sack the model cleaner!!

    30 years of dust and neglect tend to do that. Wonder what kind of model I could build today. Hmmmmm.

    Certainly not like yours. Did you scratch build the cockpit, was it stock or was it a kit. Nice.

    Hi Matt308, the Gekko is OOB using only the kit components, I should have taken some progress pics like I did for the 190. The cockpit did take a while to get right with the various colours and I was rather pleased with how it turned out. The next Gekko will be 'Enhanced' with some extras.
