Some more progress pics
Fuselage halves together and wings on

Tail booms in place



Preshading done first in black then toned down with grey. After hours of filing sanding and filling I still can't get rid of the seam along the top of the fuselage. I have now run glue down it and hope when this dries and is sanded back it won't show as much.

Just the landing gear to do and the assembly will be done
 
Cheers all. One of the tail booms went on fine the other had a rather large gap that needed some serious filler. The paint arrived this morning so tonight it will be a case of Let us spray, and pray I don't make a mess of it.
 
Made a start on the camo. Just waiting for it to dry and then will touch up the dark sea grey and a few bits of the dark green
 
Couple more pics, touched up the dark green to sharpen up the edges and sprayed the underside azure blue. The seam along the top is still showing but not as bad as I'd feared. I will leave it as it is, anymore filing and sanding and I may have a gaping hole instead of a slight seam line.

 
That's a good effort Lewis the camo really does look great, as for the seams, on any Airfix I've done they have always been a bu**er, and that comments not limited to the Tornado builds I've just finished.
