Looking very good! Does this kit have any photoetch? The 1:72 Special Hobby kits have some nice photoetch for the carburettor intake FOD guard.

Cheers,

Bill

I believe it comes with harnesses, instrument panels and the carb intake guards

Well this is a bit embarrassing, last time I posted anything in this thread I had one grandchild.

Now I have a horde of them!

 

I've actually done a bit and got some jam on the thing.

Its needed quite a few touch ups (don't we all 😎) the paint refused to stick in a couple of places and was the sole cause of several profane outbursts. Its had a coat of clear and I'll have a go at decalling 

the beast tomorrow.

Paint jobs sorted, changed my mind on the paint scheme and went for a European theatre as opposed to my normal diet of BPF.

Decals from the Special Hobby kit wot got broke.

There is a very real possibility that I may actually finish a wip thread 🤣

If you'd like to make your way over to RFI you'll be stunned to see it finished.
