Thanks mate, it's been a challenge!!

.... So then, I've had my week off from this,but this evening I've completed the basic camo paint,and tidied up the black... some details to paint on the exhausts etc,then put some washes on....ere tiz at the moment...



Some of it needs going over, however,in general,I reckon I'm on track

I spy with my little eye something beginning with 'J'. A little 'cat' in the background

Indeed... You are correct Sir...
... Although, despite it being a fairly old Revell kit, it's very enjoyable :thumb2:

Thanks Andrew... Still plugging away on this one.. decided to shove the wheelie bits on before getting ready for the decals,and a wash...


That metal lump thing in the cockpit area worked a treat,as you can see
Finally for this update,and you can see here that I've added the decals

We're on the home straight now I reckon!!

I can relate to that very true

Mr. Smiffy I like what I see so far beautiful work on the Camo may I have a seat to catch the final performance??

A brief update as I'm moving on this evening...
..... Put on a Flory wash,rubbed it down and removed the masks...


Quite pleased how the panel lines came out, although as you can see,I need to touch up some of the darker camo patches, lastly for now...

Even though it's taking me AGES to get somewhere, I'm starting to improve with these Wingy things,
A further update later

Looking good Andy. Quite a striking paint job.
