Thanks, Villers de Vos, it's going to be a slow one..... There are several tiny PE switches to add to the controls, that are going to be 'interesting'....

Many thanks for your 'likes' everyone. There should be more progress to see next weekend. More tiny PE for under the canopy, behold the cockpit seat. It'll be good to see how the wings fit...

More progress, and trying to create variations in particular metallic panels. Mixing grey with silver seems to be the way forward. Now I have to figure out how to achieve high gloss on the upper surfaces....

Clear coated all surfaces, and the upper surfaces twice. More PE details added and painted. Decals started, but disappointed by how thick they are. Let's see how they settle in. Plenty more to do, then dozens of stencils. I think the canopy will be last of all.

Welcome, Robert. This one has waited in the stash for a long time. It'll be all brush painted, so won't be a crisp and pristine gem like so many recent albums added to the site recently.

Many thanks, Villiers de Vos. I will need to be very careful with the huge decals, as the first ones had no 'slide' to let me adjust them.....

Looking fantastic Bruce. The metal finish in particular being brushed gives it a more natural looking weathered/stressed look to it. 👍

Many thanks for your kind words, James and Villiers. I have no idea how to achieve the highly polished bare metal one sees in walk around galleries, so I'm glad most is covered by decals 😉

Many thanks, Zoltan. There are still things that could have been done better. Amazingly, the wrinkled decal and paint have dried back smooth! Soo lucky 🙂
