So played about a bit more today. Fitting wiring etc isn't the easiest as I am only using stuff I have as I'm making a point of buying anything that isnt essential and all my connecting wire is 2.5mm core i had left iver from the shed.
The plinth has made life a lot easier as opposed to routing channels for wires. There will be a 9V battery and switch mounted outside and actually with all the LEDs onto it it means they are a little dimmer which I like as it's a smaller kit.

Also managed to get it primer today which I am pleased with. Couple of hours with an airbrush and it will be done.

James just had a catch up, great work so far pity about the decals letting you down. The base lighting is very good.

Thanks, it's coming along ok but really I think the kit is 2007 so to be expected, the new decals are spot on, doing it as "Just Jane" (even though upper gun turret will be a little out of position).

Base black now, ready to have slabs etc scored out before Moe black and then airbrushing in details.

Great work James and at such a rapid pace. The resin flaps add a lot of interest.
Looking forward to the rest of the build
Cheers

Beyond a bit of messing about not a lot done to date. Have done a bit more with the base, glued of some gravel that I will paint over and also scored the concrete blocks.

As for the model I have started applying some decals though only had 30 mins spare so not masses done. The builds at that stage where I just need a decent few hours to break the back of what's left really. New decals go on a treat! I have not yet glued in windows as I want these clear and am too lazy to fit and mask them all.

Bit more of the base done, just need to get the damn thing finished.

[Ancientmariner]

Weathering done and taxiway lights and surrounds for these fixed in. Grass to do and then the taxiway edge lights.

Starting to pop in the lights, still another 7 to go in round the edges but starting to look ok I think. Pleased with the little inserts around the LEDs, look quite realistic.

It's not bad, paint hide a million sins. As it's only the second one I've done I will be changing the order I do bits in for the next one.
