A little progress my nephew says three undercoats for silver so I will touch up in the morning letting her dry overnight and see what needs doing. The pilot wouldn't settle even with super glue obviously considers early jets beneath him 😉 took ages to get him sorted. Many thanks for all your kindness and comments very much appreciated Eamonn

Stunning work Chris she's a little beauty very well done mate 👏 Makes me want to get one now small enough to get past the Minister of Finance I think 😃 Thanks for sharing Eamonn

Thanks Chris as it's my first WIP I'm expecting to learn workarounds and get some Tips I've been really grateful for that from you all already. That's what makes this site so great by the time its finished I expect it will look a lot better too! I hope 😉 Eamonn

Quick update on work so far as you can see figure painting (ex skyvan pilot) is not a strong point but he will not be well seen in the small space for him. Thanks Steve I had seen some good pics of the engine space and used some paint and a sharpie on the kits engine blanks just to break up the dark areas not 100% accurate but again not a lot to be seen. I think I may have made a schoolboy error and been better off building the kit before putting the undercoat on Onwards and upwards Eamonn

So it begins 😅 wish me luck many thanks for all the advice and encouragement so far Eamonn

Another beauty Dragan very nicely finished well done thanks for sharing Eamonn

Sad news but a sign of the times we now live in. What a fantastic set of photos Mark looks like a great collection of airframes on view there. thanks for sharing Eamonn

Hi Stever Many thanks for your reply she was with 257 Sq @ Norwich. The info regarding the overalls and the high speed finish is brilliant & much appreciated many thanks Eamonn

I'm told black is the way to go Chris so I will be trying that and see how I get on I can always strip it if it doesn't work so no harm done and keep trying until I get it right Eamonn

A start getting everything ready I've messed about with a sharpie round the cockpit following a legends great builds, just to see if I can actually do it. When it's closed I don't think you will see too much which is good enough for me 😅 I will be putting a pilot in but need a little help with flightsuit colours for the late 1940's and advice on undercoat for NMF finishes using Tamiya paints thanks for looking Eamonn Many thanks Chris Impressive finish on that model hoping mine turns out half as good. Eamonn

Thanks Chris I've heard the Frog decals still work after all those years which is a testament to their quality. Novo decals still give me the shivers as I grew up with them and their aversion to water 😉 I've a couple of Xtradecal & Modeldecal sheets to work from only thing missing is the Squadron nose badge, but as i said not 110% accuracy on this build as it's my first WIP Eamonn

Very nice work Vinnie full credit to you for continuing it looks great thanks for sharing Eamonn
