Yes, the fading looks great, bike safe.

Thanks on both counts.  It was quick 25km mountain biking, mixed terrain, moderately technical...took me about 2 hours.

 

I have added the final set of decals and applied a coat of satin varnish.  I'll let that set for a few hours in this dry heat and then do a little light-coloured flory and one darker outwash.  Landing gear, prop and broken antennae.  Oh yes...I'll fill in 4 of the machine gun ports since it only had 2 50mm as guns...😉  Easy-peasy...

Thanks again fellows...I make an attempt to go through the GB and catch up with all the superb builds going on and give my enduring support, but I always feel I fall short.

No bad builds in any GB, as far as I am concerned, just varying degrees of success!

 

Now I am playing catch-up...

 

Flory wash...

After the Flory is off, I gave it some exhaust staining on the upside--

makes me happy to see all the wonderful builds and great work put into all of them. 

I agree.  There are some stupendous builds in the GB.  The Very Large Scale Corsairs are particularly impressive--the stuff of museums!

 

Thanks fellows!
