It's looking good there Kar.
On the exhausts, if you can, paint the 'Porcupine / Hedgehog' sections a rust colour, leaving the collector rings and main pipe discoloured 'bronze' /copper.

front canopy, wheels and props on, no it is not a fancy white wall tyre, it where the paint has scraped off when i put the wheel on !
and views of the dirt and grime i added.

well been left alone all day so used the time wisely and am calling this done.

will sort out a finished thread in the next few days so here's a couple of pics until then !

i have really enjoyed this build, though i think the amazing Tamiya kit helped

cant find how to change the title of this thread to **** DONE, any ideas ?
