Pre shade went on this afternoon, ready for the top coat

 

 

Started off with the underside & then moving on to the top

 

 

And the bits together.  Canopy hasn’t seen any paint yet, and the tail horizontals, exhaust and wing tip rails are just blutaced in place

 

 

Quite happy with the progress, touch ups needed and a wash over later will bring up the panel lines a bit

Paint and build has been progressing quite well.  The Paine hasn’t obscured all of that nice panel detail.  Might have sanded some off though....

 

 

Latest update is that the tail is all on, as are the main wheels.  Test fit of the wheel well doors, and trying out the now pained canopy.  Remainder of the wheel mechanisms to go on, along with the pitot.  Must finish off the seat too

Looks good, you’re certainly cracking on with it.

Cheers @phildagreek been chipping away at it.  Going to call the main build & paint about done now. Some bits to touch up and a clear coat needed, then on to decals

 

 

 

the seat has some paint but needs more work & some belts

I uncovered the intake blank to see how it looks in there now.  The white has hidden the worst of the poor fit & it looks passable.  Will still fit a FOD cover anyway

 

 

And the main non unit decals are done & drying ahead of another clear coat

Got a few minutes this morning so the rest of the decals are on

 

 

 

 

Need to let it dry & then get a clear coat over to matt it all down.  Then FOD over for the intake, rbf tags.  I did see this nice shot of the canopy open with yellow covers over the seat & gun sight.  Might save me making seat belts

Starting on to FOD cover & rbf tags now.  Some seat belts too.

 

 

And another shot with my A model Dutch version
