Also got the windows masked and fitted, needs a little work on the top, but a little filler should sort that out then it's priming time

Nice work on the armoured car Ian. The Hercules glazing is very nicely masked, and as you say that gap should be easy to fix.

Got the wings put on this one now not much room on the desk for it. Still plenty of work to do on the wing roots but it's starting to look like an Hercules now.

Did your wing need strengthening at all Ian? I've heard of rods (spars) being put through to support both wings.

To be honest Joe no I didn't they were a very nice tight fit

[papa 695]

Got this one together now, primed and pre-shaded.

That is a lot of pre-shading

[papa 695]

Got the top coat on this girl, now she just needs her black under coat. But silly me have run out of black paint. So it's a quick call to John in the shop to sort this out.

Camouflage is looking great Ian. I've always wondered why this RAF scheme had the white area on top.
