Lovely, the JP is a great little kit and you’ve done a superb job on this one.

Brilliantly done Woody, and a great WIP, inspiring stuff!

Wash scrubbed off, added a subtle layer of wear, more to do but end in sight, been a very enjoyable build.

You should have no regrets, looks perfect, I will build another Airfix B17 and use this thread as a guide.

Interior coming together, bit more details to do then getting close to closing up the fuselage.

Just a pin wash to highlight and then getting close to closing up the fuselage.

Scunge time! (Flory grey wash)

Tail rotor painted along with the main rotor head, the decals from the kit are excellent and work really well but I know I will have to paint the edges so might as well paint! Main rotor in real life looks hugely complicated, lots of wires and pipes, so not going to try embellishing it but will try to add a bit of interest by detail painting. Getting there, main body needs a gloss varnish and the some weathering, albeit subtle, then a fair bit of details to add.

As real as it gets, that is superb. Good job!

Great model and that’s a proper Dorset background, good job!

Just to say haven’t fallen asleep on this one, better weather equals more work so time is at a premium and I’m splitting bench time between this group build and a Seaking. Bit of progress, base painted and some PE added.

Cool build and the paint looks really good!

Bit of an update, main rotor blades are painted and need decals, sponsons are being detailed and wheels have been painted ( thank god for masks ) going to paint the tail rotor as although I’m very impressed with Airfix decals I think paint is the way to go!

Great paint job, super skills on show, good job!

I also like that a lot, tremendous work!!
