76 is a light colour so no worries. The mottles will tone it down.

That is looking good.

Done as I will do it! Although after looking at the photos I believe that the 'mottles' on the side may be a bit small? I can still go back over as a touch up, spraying another bit of finish on top of those. But GB57 beckons!
Issues: The landing gear was a real PITA. Can't pin much on my build skills, although they do lack, but the combination of the material and its reaction to the glue that I was using (would not soften and allow tack fitting), that and the really poor design on the parts assembly details. But they are holding it up!
Photos are not quite up to par; I did not drag out the loght box, and had a devil of a time with correcting white balance. Just have to live with it.
Port and starboard straight on (well kind of).
A tops down compare of its size to a 190

Looks great Ralph and a bit of a big beast, if I may say so.

Many thanks to all who responded and commented. It was a 'kind-of' fun build given the model molding details. If I find this in a 1/48, at a reasonable price, and a different kit supplier, I will pick it up .Such a unique bird.
Lovely work so far!
