Great progress Garry, looks like a nice kit

[Tworrs]

Thanks Joe, much appreciated.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Great work Garry. It is a shame all that lovely engine detail is covered. I have to say that I am impressed with how Hasagawa have designed this kit. That tail section joint assembly looks incredibly strong.

[Tworrs]

Thanks Steve, yes I am impressed with this model too. That tail section is not going anywhere soon.

[Steven000]

Looking good Garry, huge tail-joint indeed for this scale. Cheers

[Tworrs]

Thanks Steven, it is indeed a huge tail-joint.

[Tworrs]

A little more progress, the wings have been assembled and dry fixed to the fuselage, and fit as expected.

[Geoffers]

It’s coming along very nicely Garry ?

Shame a lot of the lovely details are hidden but it all adds to the fun of the build ?

Geoff.

[Tworrs]

Thanks Geoff, this has been a fun build regardless.

[Ian M]

Coming a long well. I can see I have no need to got to mad in the cockpit. Mind you I'm not putting the pilot in so...
Those white stripes on the undersides... I believe that it was Alan that informed us that the white stripes in real life where brush painted and 'a bit wonky' at the best of times...

[Tworrs]

Thanks Ian, I did the basics in the cockpit, but nothing extra as it would have been a bit of a waste. Good to know about the white stripes, I still have to decide my method for them, paint or decal. I think I will do some experiments first.

[Nicko]

Shaping up to be quite a big beastie.

Nick

[Tworrs]

You are right Nick, she will be big.

[papa 695]

Yes, shaping up very nicely indeed.

[Tworrs]

Thank you.

[Jim R]

Great looking cockpit, pilot and engine. Glad the fuselage halves went together so well but as you say - all your painstaking work is covered and there is still a canopy to go.

[Tworrs]

Very kind of you to say Jim, I just hope I can do the paint job justice.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Lovely work. The flaps are a great addition on any model

[Tworrs]

Thanks Steve.

[Tworrs]

I have made a start on painting the fuselage and wings.





Here the underside has been painted red, and awaits the white stripe decals which should be fun.

[Jim R]

Neat looking paint job. Putting on the white stripes will be fun.

[Tworrs]

Thanks Jim.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Nice to see a brush painted model Garry. A skill that is beyond me.

[Tworrs]

Thanks Steve, to be honest, it is the first time brush painting an aircraft, but I wanted to see what result I could achieve.

[Geoffers]

Nice paint job Garry, it’s a colourful bird ?

Geoff.

[Tworrs]

Thanks Geoff that is very kind of you.

[minitnkr]

.......following very closely as I'm brush painting the same plane only 1/3 the size. Yours looks great.

[Tworrs]

Thanks Paul, I am trying to transfer my art skills to models, which is not as easy as it sounds. I still have work to do on this one.
