So this is what she started out as before the restoration.
God aweful I'd call it!

I didn't even finish the stencils I was so unhappy with it I just left it.

And so it begins!

All Decals scraped off and the whole thing filled!

During the filling and sanding process all gear and the exhausts came off.
Personally I think even in these early stages she looks 1000% better already!

All primed, I definitely need to start airbrushing again.

And she's Silver.
And her wings fell off, oops.

At the last minute I decided the intakes under the wings weren't good enough.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/1/9/0/1423190-18633-49-720.jpg)
So I cut them off and replaced them with 2 identical spare Airfix intakes.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/8/9/3/1417893-18633-66-720.jpg)
Quite pleased with the results.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/1/9/1/1423191-18633-80-720.jpg)
Decals have been found.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/1/9/3/1423193-18633-71-720.jpg)
And she's done!!!
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/1/9/4/1423194-18633-81-720.jpg)
She's looking a billion percent better!
