Very nice progress Alan. I have this one on the shelf.

Just not enough time in this busy life.

And here it is the engine 'fitted' inside it's cowling. I am actually well impressed with this 'new' technique for me. I think the gloss black primer has given it a depth that allows the metal colour to really show up better. I'll certainly be trying it out on other builds in the future.

First coat of Tamiya XF-2 has been laid down. Will re-cover tomorrow with Tamiya X-2 gloss to finish off the white. Then it's onto masking and panting the black strips.

Evening Bob.

Getting there eventually. Using this as a test bed for oil washes and weathering. Ready for the Group build lol

Think I’ll have to add a Tamiya bird to the stash if they are that quality...that one looks cracking. Great work so far Alan :thumb2:

First invasion stripes done. Took a bit of masking but got there in the end. Just a slight bleed under the tape in one or two places. But all in all i think it looks ok.

[Guest]

Looks very good indeed Al.
