Thanks for the kind words, i've tidied up the lines between the grey and blue and i'll be starting to paint the wing and fuselage crosses (once i've built up the courage!)

Thank you all for the kind comments, that camo really took a lot of effort as the masking tape kept letting the paint bleed through so i had to repaint parts of it a few times. Heres another update as i have now put on the final part of the camo and added some effects; burn marks around the nose...

sorry for the long wait and no, i dont have any pics from before the paint, sorry.

Is it too late to enter this build??

Thanks for the positive comments and airframes i noticed i had made the barrel too high as soon as the paint dried but i just figured it wouldnt look too bad and i would know for the future.

Well i've finished the diorama now and here are the pics of the two together.
