Many thanks for your 'like', Alberto. I have to decide if I should order PE for the cockpit, and if so, which set. All advice welcome, everyone ?

Collected PE order and visited RAF Museum yesterday, so a little paint added whilst everything is fresh in the mind's eye ?

Should have left the mould seam marks on the outside of the exhausts, or at least have just reduced them...

Thanks, Guy, I don't want to mess it up, but know it will never be as good as some fine work I see from others. Inspiration has to be translated into practice!

I know what you mean Bruce 🙂 Many of the builds on SM are awesome. My view is as long as I seem to be making some progress with differing techniques etc then I'm happy. So many SMs are also very helpful and inspiring too 🙂

Totally agree, Guy. But I will be holding my breath until this iconic plane is successfully completed.

A serous gap there Bruce! Don't think you dit something wrong, the designer of the kit is the one to blameI guess! But, great work so far ??

I'm learning to look four steps ahead, instead of just one or two, Erik. Thanks for your encouragement ?

Brave surgery on that engine, and the gaps will turn you into a Sand Master, which is good. I admire your determination, way to go.

Each step has its challenges, so I'm not rushing... Your encouragement and kind words are appreciated, David.

So, some more painting done, but have to decide if D-day stripes will be added, or keep her as she now is. Canopy next.....

Opted for pre-D-day insignia of Johnny Johnson. Decals started....

Many thanks, WhiteGlint - I can see a few things that could be better, but I am going to finish the decals first, then repair the cannon and add the final fragile items. My modelling skills have certainly benefitted from advice and tips 🙂

Many thanks for all your 'likes', mates, and comments too. I enjoyed taking my time with this one, and learned lots in the process. I'm wondering which kit should be worked on next, before I get around to my Eduard Weekend Airacobra in 1:48 🙂

Fantastic effect, especially considering the vices of the kit itself. I really like it, Bruce, congrats!

Robert you are too kind! Thank you for your encouragement at the start and all through. Still plenty of skills to be improved on....

Many thanks WhiteGlint. A Squadron Leader's ground crew would surely keep his machine extra polished.... 😉👍

Come on, Bruce. You simply deserve every praise given here... and your skills are surely better than mine 😉

Just have to keep up the standards, in the next projects, Robert 🙂 I'm eagerly waiting for your project's next steps, so I'm hoping you had a busy weekend 😉

I am on vacations now, so no updates for few next days, Bruce...

Have a great break, Robert. Neuling, thank you for your 👍 too. I'm delighted with everyone's comments and 'likes'. I was thinking of a simple base with grass and tyre tracks, chocked wheels, etc 🙂

Thank you so much, Augie. But there is still lots of room for improvement, so I need to sharpen up my (limited) skills 🙂
