Nice updates Mike

Great progress Mike. All looking very good.

The main body of the aircraft has now been completed and went together quite easily. I applied tiny bit of filler, did some light sanding, then applied a thin coat of rattle can (Army Painter white) Primer.

It needs a bit of tidying and maybe another coat of Primer then I'll add some colour. I'll be hand painting using Vallejo paints which should be arriving in the post today.

I have also started to add colour to some of the smaller parts shown below. What this (pre painting) photo doesn't show is that I somehow snapped off one of the propeller blades. I have no idea how I did it and it was whilst I was painting one of the other parts. I only noticed after the event so will need to fix this.

Looking at the photos now, it's amazing how expanding a photo shows up seam lines which aren't visible to the naked eye when looking at the model itself.

Looking good Mike.

A bit of progress. I've started to add some colour and also made a start on the pilot

[Tim Marlow]

Colour is looking good. Nice to see a pilot in there as well.

[Valeron]

A bit progress. Glossed, decals added, glossed again and model now fully built other than clear parts.

Now on apply washes and a Matt coat

[Valeron]

I've applied some washes and a couple of Matt coats as well as a handpainted canopy.

I'm calling this done now and will add s
ome better photos in the completed Aircraft section
