Oh yes, Looking forward to this. It goes together really well and the internals, despite being totally invisible, are nice to put together and make the whole thing more satisfying. Carry on the good work. Cheers, Alistair

The build sequence isn't quite what I'd like but all I need to do is take a bit more care. I'm with you on keeping the engine and gun panels closed. I may have the cockpit open though. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris, Alright who blabbed? Thanks Roger, Me too. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris, I should manage to get some colour on either today or tomorrow. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris and I really have no idea what you're talking about. Thanks very much. Thanks Roger, The instructions call out for Aluminium and as the insides of the nacelles were the same I thought it looked right. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Mark, I did use the time to get the rest of the undercarriage, doors and wheels ready for paint. And purely between us I may have swapped out the bread bin again. That bit should go no further, of course. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks very much Mark, I was hoping to get more done today but the weather is utterly foul. Cheers, Alistair

While I had the primer out for the wildcat I got some down on the cockpit parts. I should be able to get some colour on these tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Undercarriage and bomb bay doors finally got their final paint and a clear coat so they can be weathered at the same time as the main fuselage. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Simon, Rather pleased with the result. Cheers, Alistair

Not got much time today but managed to get a coat of primer down. That all looks good. Just a wee bit of blending needed on the canopy. On with some colour tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Another fantastic build and finish. Jaw-droppingly wonderful paintwork. Cheers, Alistair

Coming on in leaps and bound. Looking good from this end. Cheeers, Alistair

Thanks Simon, I'll be happier once i get some colour on board. I'm going with the LifeColor Verde Anticorrosione. It's the same color I used on the Engine Firewall/Wheel Well covers. Thanks Roger, I knew what I was getting in to, though. Cheers, Alistair

What an absolute corker. Stunning. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Simon, I don't think it'll be anytime soon but a finish is definitely closer than it was. Cheers, Alistair

Cockpit fiddlies this morning. And just in case I hadn't mentioned this before. That lot will need to dry before I can go much further. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Roger, I could have done something about them but there are a couple that are in really small recesses and i would have damaged the detail. A bit of plasticard might have been the answer to cover them all over but I didn't think of that til now. Thanks for that info Giorgio. That's all useful stiff. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Roger, Stuff getting in the way so I may not get much or indeed anything done today. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris, I'm hoping it'll look decent when I'm done. Thanks Mark. Still a fair way to go but it's all stuff that can get wiped away if i don't like it. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks CC, Most kind. Most of it will be either hidden or in shadow when the cowling goes on so i'm hoping it'll be enough. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Roger, it will look ok when in situ. I hope. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris, I knew there were a lot of them, so, I knew what I was letting myself in for. According to the instructions the version I am building didn't have the inner wheel well covers. As you say a whole can of worms. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks very much. Couldn't have done it without you. Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris, Nothing major just a little more work. Cheers, Alistair
