Looks well built Dave. The seat is good mate.

Thanks for the comments.


 It has been a while since the last update.


No pictures ar the moment but the blue is on the underside and the tan is on the top surface.


That went well but despite testing on an old milk carton my freehand airbrush camouflage went a bit awry.  I got a lot of overspray .  I think the issue is I got closer to the milk carton as it is flat than I did to parts of the aircraft because of the shape and that caused some problems.  Having a play with the settings on the airbrush and have turned the milk carton into something more reminiscent of a model for the testing.  Once sorted I will have another go.  If not I have a few templates to cut out.

This great build will get finished albeit a smidgen late.

Camouflage painted and the decaling done. Three evenings work on the decals, the general decal numbering is from S1-S129 and some of those are multiples, then there are the main decals for the particular scheme and payload. Now I know why I normally stick to WWII aircraft.

Gloss varnish (Humbrol Clear) over the decals so just some finishing touches to do before the final coat of varnish.

For those who are wondering the window is just out of shot on the left, so I can just put the exhaust for the spray booth out of the window as required.
