No worries Scottie mate.. there's SO much to follow on the site these days! Just glad to have you along now buddy :thumb2:

[The Smythe Meister]

Just a small update for now,done some more stuff in the cockpit,and then smacked the fuselage sides together....

.....


A little tidying up to do,but it's on the way now... Pilot Chappie next :thumb2:

[Mickc1440]

That pilot was definitely worth it mate

[The Smythe Meister]

Well then Guys,some stuff has occurred ...this guy fell apart..

..so I resorted to This..

... and,as I suspected,I got this...

Shoved bits together,an made some rudimentary in roads!
Not massive amount of stuff, but a decent result I'm happy with!
Now,the plane itself....

.....

Starting to look like a plane now I reckon.... I'm looking forward to getting some paint on it now...
... Thanks,as always, for looking in... Should be some decent progress tomorrow me hopes!!:thumb2:

That's a lot of canopy to mask :surprised:

[The Smythe Meister]

It's not as bad as it looks Andy...
I'm going to have the forward part open,so that piece covering it can just be sprayed over,and the centre section,(the bit with the two forward facing mgs),is mostly painted with camo.
The rear gunner's position is open anyway,which I thought a bit odd.... maybe they didn't take it up in foul weather!!:thinking::tears-of-joy:.

[scottie3158]

Smiffy,
Looking mighty fine mate.

[Geoffers]

Just catching up with your build Andy.

Top notch job so far, you are smashing it (as the youth say) :tears-of-joy:

Thanks Geoff,but I won't be smashing this one, it's too good a kit:dizzy:.....oh,I see what mean!!:tears-of-joy:

[The Smythe Meister]

Ok then muchachos, it's been a week from hell at work... I've been down to Cornwall,up to North Devon,and even ventured into Dorset!!:dizzy:.....
...HOWEVER , I've managed to cram in a little progress!....

Good ole Halfords Grey on there,

Painted up the motors,and then covered em up....

.... that's all in the light grey base colour there,was wondering how to go about the camo stage,decided on painting the green patches on top of the grey,will take a while....but I'm actually kind of looking forward to it!!:nerd:
It's shaping up to be a nice looking aircraft,I just hope I don't blow it doing the camo!!:flushed:
...... We'll find out tomorrow eh?!!
