Cockpit assembly started

First grey Vallejo Primer coat.

Satin Black, Revell 1:1 dilution with Vallejo airbrush cleaner

Cockpit Interior base paint. Was missing the correct paint, so I mixed-down some olive drab. Should suffice.
Cockpit in black gloss varnished ready for decal.

Cockpit assembly continues

Black wash and dry brush finish…bit overtop with Light Metal MIG 0621…note to self, less is more 🙂

Small touch up on head cushion and seat belt

Very tight fit at the end, has to sand and cut a lot. Cockpit top silver, needs subtle application next time 🙂

Fits snuggly

Ready for assembly and weathering

Many parts to assemble, ready for painting

Engine weathering and some more work on wings and aileron done

Aftermarket has arrived from Poland ??

Gun barrels

Nice quality

Wings almost done with aftermarket guns and tried out clear colour

3-4 hours laters, wings done, engine assembled, forgot cowling to paint….

Assembled the plane halves
Adding generously acrylic putty

Mistakes had been made. Need to cure PU varnish longer next time during engine part detailing

Wheel struts broke off of course as well as the antenna and also the wing struts…

Masked top part, brush painted USAF olive drab 1:1 plus Anmo satin mat, also rotor blades done as well as some other parts

Some detailing done today

Some small parts done

Gunmetal spray with some touch ups

Started with the left side, new to decaling and not my strength to be honest.
Made some mistakes and the Torrid Tessie broke….

Getting better on the second day, need to make sure to use the ammo decal set twice and dry it, then only use a little for the decal fix at the end, otherwise it will peel the decal.no.3 broke unfortunately
Trying to get a new set to correct both issues now 🙂
