Nice work Dave. A slightly odd looking aircraft. All engines and not much else.

Looking good Dave , I bet you didnt expect to be having to scratch build as much as this when you started the build !! Top work though ,the nav lights look great and the gunsight looks right to me . cheers tony

Like the way this is coming on, I am really tempted by this one.

That's the canopy and windscreen masked and glued on.And I've finished filling and sanding the joins.On the whole the parts fit is good.The wing to fuselage join is excellent at the wing root.Most filling and sanding work is needed at the engine cowl to wing join.Not as bad as old Airfix or old Revell kits though.Next job is to spray primer on.

I primed the model a couple of days ago with Alclad white primer.And I've been reading Barry W's thread on weathering aircraft again.So I thought I would give it a go on this model.So tonight I've sprayed Vallejo Air black along some of the panel lines.Ive tried this before and given up.Mainly because I can't spray a straight line to save my life!.But Barry says it doesn't matter.So here's my attempt at preshading.Will have a go at the underside colour tomorrow.
