THX... 
Having exhaust pipes coloured I added exhaust stains. Just used a black paint.These stains on port side didn't appear what I could be glad with .So I put it away untill the next day when I corrected it. Also I added some weathering to the engine cowling.Nothing major but made it a little bit dirty.

Appreciate..THX.
The next step was to remove all dust from the model ( I did it using quite "thick" brush). And then I applied a semi-gloss dope overall. Unfortunately my air comprssor "said no" again .I was very glad it happened almost at the end of airbrushing.So I could finish applying at least.

I love the way the clear coat makes the paintwork really jump out ! I think you'll have to give your compressor a good talking too Wojtek !!

The masking worked out great Wojtek!
Question: Why did you not paint that center brace in the side windows? Is it and interior brace maybe?

Nice work on the canopy frames my friend. The 'square' canopy is a sod to do on this kit, due to the 'soft' moulding of the frames. I've re-painted mine four times so far !
Glenn, the central frame didn't appear until the heavier canopy on the 'G' series, as seen in the BoB movie (Buchon's are G2 airframes).

I'm not a fan of Mickey Mouse. I prefer Donald Duck..
In pics below ...the first coat of a Humbrol Gloss Cote applied. Because my compressor was still striking I had to use a brush.

I have another question on the side window. I understand that they came in two parts and the front one slid back some but wouldn't there be some sort of felt stuck there between the windows to act as insulation and to prevent the front widow from scratching the other window as it slid back? It would appear that there is in the photographs and that it is white in color. There seems to also be another line of white toward the back where the other end of the window would sit if it was fully pushed back. Is that right?

I don't think there was any kind of insulation neither for making the line hermetic nor preventing against scratching. But you are right.At many pictures the side lines seem to be white.But It might be a matter of a light.I think these appeared because both of the side glasses were fitted quite tight and it was difficult to clean these areas by maintenance teams. Simply there was some of dirt or dust. Look at these pics below. Can you see..? In fact the areas were semi-transparent but also these were clean and transparent fully. Also we should remeber that these conopy glasses weren't too thin actually. Have you ever seen two squares of Plexiglas (PMMA) put one on the another. I have seen....it looks exactly like these lines on the cockpit side windows.Especially if their edges are matt but not polished.
