Lovely little catch up Simon. That nose step looks like a right pain but you seem to be on top of things.

 I’ll tag along if I may.

 

 Johnny. 

You are more than welcome Johnny, nearly to the paint stage now, but have something quite nice lined up for after.

Well folks, not a lot to report in since last here.

 

But with just a little bit of masking left to do she is ready for priming, that`s when all the faults show up.

Well I hope it is, that`s what it said on the box LOL.

 

Thanks @ModelingEdmontonian, @Hamden, @shortCummins and @AliGauld.

 

Well, this morning I was finally able to do some modelling, namely mask and prep for priming.

I am using the wheels up U/C doors as masks.

 

Stay safe.

Like the way you've crossed every block this kit has put in front of you, you now deserve a result and those coats of Sky say to

me that your going to get one. Keep up the great work.

 

Thank you sir, she has had its faults (caused by me) but she is getting there.

Quite the flurry off bench work. Lovely smooth sky to my eye. 🙌

Not as smooth as it looked, there  was some rough spots that needed a swipe with a buffing pad.
