Nice one, Ray, it looks like you're in for a bit of masking to paint the colored areas on the wings, stabs and fins.

I am no stranger to masking :D I have done plenty of it with my airliner models.

Well here is an up date, I have been working on this on and off over the last month or so.

Started with some basic assembly

Then had a brain wave to try and rescribe it since it was an early mould. I hit it with some primer and the rescribing did not go to plan. So I started to sand back the detail in a second effort.

So next it to finish the sanding and re prime. Then I will add some lines to make it look busy enough. Though with a white scheme not too much will be seen.

I didn't realise this GB was finishing up this week, so I thought I should get on with it.

Some more assembly

The beauty of this scheme that it is mostly white so I can assemble a fair bit before starting the paint. Next will be finishing up the cockpit to button it up and start some priming.
