Painting looks fine to me.

[JR]

Count me in Dale. Looks fun .

Thanks Jim.

Welcome John.

[dalej2014]

Someone pointed out the camouflage would have harder edges between the colours (thank you!), so I've touched it up a tad. V2 as below.

Nice job Dale. It's nice to see a 'vintage' kit getting some attention.

[dalej2014]

Gloss varnish layer on; leaving over night to begin decals and weathering.

[dalej2014]

Decals done and a bit of touch up painting. I forgot the tail stripes too, so added those. The cockpit colours (red and green) are still to dry in this pic, so I expect them to dull down some.
Weathering to do yet, and other parts to add - prop, undercarriage etc

[dalej2014]

The propellor and nose are now on. I have to add the wheels then matte the gloss down, and I'll be calling this done.

Coming on very nicely indeed Dale!

[The Smythe Meister]

Yep, very nice so far Dale.

Yep, very nice so far Dale. :smiling3:

Thank you both gents.

[dalej2014]

So, after a lengthy break, I think I'm calling this done.
I may have to revisit just to tweak the varnish, but otherwise finished. A fun build for such an old kit.

[Sunburst Finish]

Lovely job with an old kit.

[Jim R]

That's a great result, especially seeing as the kit is almost 50 years old.

Nice work Dale.
