Just caught up on this one Tony, coming along very nicely.

Been looking at the undercarriage and wheel wells and decided they are a bit bare , so after looking at some excellent walkarounds i decided to add a bit of extra detail . The legs have been jazzed up with some brake lines and other wires and the wheel wells have had a couple of pipes added . I’ll be adding a few more wires to the wells , not every single one thats visible on the walkaround but just enough to lift it a bit. Another area thats sadly lacking in any detail is the inside of the gear doors but thats another day , cheers tony

Hi Tony
Excellent paint work. Very neat and well thought out masking. The wheel wells are much improved so worth the effort.

Very slow progress on this but heres a quick update. Ive glued the main undercarriage legs on and been tittivating the wells a bit more with wire and a few scratched hydraulic linkages. Its not a full recreation as theres so many bits and pipes on the real thing but its a bit busier than the bare kit wells . All it needs now is a bit of a wash to add shadows and mucky it up a little. Ive also added some detail to the inside of the gear doors as they were just completely featureless . The main airframe has also had a coat of Klear and is ready for the decals :confounded:
