Mottlemaster Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Back in action after holiday and moving house . Now for the first time in over 5 years my house and man-cave are together . I found it hard to get over the inertia that can build up after a lengthy pause in the construction of a slightly complex model . any way got the wing parts together and painted so they can be assembled and it feels real good to get back into the swing of it . only problem is im off to Malta on Tuesday for a week (going to visit all the military museums and read Malta : The Hurricane Years 1940-41 Chris Shores and Brian Cull . Today i gave the wing interior areas a coat of black primer followed by a light coat of Mr color Aircraft grey-green . this looks similar to the green used by the Italians as i dont want to purchase a bottle of paint that will probably not be used again .

Mottlemaster Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hi Arnold I have been plodding away at it and am now at the painting stage and some life color paints have arrived in the post . This is a difficult and slow kit to do and has taken lots of time and effort to keep going leaving none for picture taking and posting . P1020635 by Alistair Pearce, on Flickr will post a further picture on completion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
